or

npm install
or run in Docker. See below.
Export the techie and consoritum contacts in the .csv format. The file from Cobra should have the following fields:
Haupt,Institution,Institut,Anrede,Titel,Vorname1,Nachname1,E-Mail1,Bemerkung
Important if you'll do a custom search in Cobra don't forget to exclude inactive users. Always use the saved search.
There are existing settings in Cobra CRM for exporting. To do that go to the tab Recherche. There select Gespeicherte Recherchen. In Bereich System, choose Bloxberg Techies Monitoring. Click Ausführen. Then in Daten tab click Exportieren. In the settings there is an ready made formatting called 'Validator Monitoring - Techies'. Choose the setting and export the file. The file name must be bloxberg_techies.csv.
Do the similar steps for all consortium contacts. Go to the tab Receherche. Click Gespeicherte Recherchen. In Bereich System, choose Bloxberg Consortium Monitoring. In Data tab click Exportieren. The formatting is call 'Validator Monitoring - Consortium'. Choose the setting and export the file. The file name must be bloxberg_consortium.csv.
Finally copy the files bloxberg_techies.csv and bloxberg_consortium.csv in the project root.
Copy the file .env-template to a new file called .env. Add the SMTP credentials for each variable. You can use a service like Sendgrid to test emails.
