In this commit, we have made significant improvements to the user experience of the NETRAVE project by streamlining the process of setting up the database connection. This was achieved by modifying the first_run_setup method in the FirstRunInit class to intelligently handle the presence or absence of a configuration file (config.yml).
The key changes include:
Checking for the existence of config.yml: Before prompting the user for database details, the program now checks if a config.yml file already exists. This file holds the necessary details for connecting to the database.
Reading and using existing configuration: If a config.yml file is found, the program attempts to connect to the database using the details from the file. This eliminates the need for the user to re-enter database details every time the program runs, thereby improving the user experience.
Handling unsuccessful connections: If the connection attempt using the details from config.yml is unsuccessful, the program prompts the user for new database details. These new details are then used to overwrite the existing config.yml file. This ensures that the program can recover from changes in the database setup, such as a change in password.
Creating config.yml if it does not exist: If no config.yml file is found, the program creates one and then prompts the user for the database details. This makes the initial setup process smoother for new users.
These changes have several benefits:
Improved User Experience: By avoiding unnecessary prompts for database details, the program becomes more user-friendly.
Efficient Onboarding: The streamlined process makes onboarding new users more efficient.
Cost Savings: By reducing the number of requests for help with database details, we can potentially save on support staff time.
Employee Satisfaction: Improving user experience can lead to greater employee satisfaction and advocacy for the product.
Ethical Considerations: These changes respect the rights of the users by giving them control over their personal data and ensuring transparency in how their data is handled.
This commit represents a significant step forward in making the NETRAVE project more user-friendly and efficient. We believe these changes will improve the usage and adoption of the product while also respecting the rights of the users.

Introduction
Welcome to NETRAVE, a cybersecurity solution designed to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient. This README provides a comprehensive overview of the software, its purpose, functions, objectives, and unique methods of handling issues/challenges.
About NETRAVE
NETRAVE is an acronym for Network Environment for Threat Response and Advanced Vulnerability Extermination. It is a modular cybersecurity software that aims to provide a high level of security, vigilance, and response to threats, ensuring that network environments remain secure and resilient.
About the Developer
Connor Crawford, also known as Vetheon, is currently the only developer behind NETRAVE. With over 8 years of experience in the private sector, Connor has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in software development, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. Recognizing the need for more transparency and open-source solutions in cybersecurity, he began producing open-source software, with NETRAVE being one of his first flagship projects and his first ever large project written in Ruby.
Technical Overview
NETRAVE is designed with a modular architecture, which allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance. Each module in NETRAVE is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user.
The software is built using Ruby, a high-level, interpreted programming language that emphasizes simplicity and productivity. Ruby's dynamic typing and object-oriented design make it an ideal choice for a modular system like NETRAVE.
Modular Design
The modular design of NETRAVE is one of its key features. Each module is designed to perform a specific function, and they can work independently or in harmony, depending on the needs of the user. This design allows for easy customization, upgrades, and maintenance.
The modular design also allows for easy expansion. New modules can be added to the system as needed, providing additional functionality without disrupting the existing system. This flexibility makes NETRAVE a scalable solution that can adapt to the changing needs of a network environment.
