-# elrraggregator     
-ELRR service which aggregates learner profiles 
-
-# Requirements
-For building and running the elrraggregator you need:
-- JDK 1.8
-- Maven 3
-# Build the application
-- mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=false
-# Deploying the application on Docker 
-The easiest way to deploy the sample application to Docker is to follow below steps:
-- mkdir -p target/dependency && (cd target/dependency; jar -xf ../*.jar)
-- docker build --build-arg JAR_FILE="./target/elrraggregator-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar" --file Dockerfile -t <docker_hub>/test:elrraggregator-dck-img         
-- docker run -p Port:Port -t <docker_hub>/test:elrraggregator-dck-img         
-
-# Running the application locally
-There are several ways to run a Spring Boot application on your local machine. One way is to execute the main method in the com.deloitte.elrr.elrrconsolidate.ElrrConsolidateApplication class from your IDE
-# Alternatively you can use the Spring Boot Maven plugin: 
-- mvn spring-boot:run
-# Optional step
