+# Deploy a test version to the VM
+
+## What we did
+
+We deployed a production build of the application to the group's VM to verify
+early that it can be built and served under Apache.
+
+- Verified SSH access to `it2810-23.idi.ntnu.no`.
+- Installed and enabled Apache2 on the VM.
+- Built the project locally with `npm run build`. The `base` path in
+  `vite.config.ts` was already set to `/project1/`, so no code changes were
+  needed for the build to resolve correctly under that path.
+- Copied the `dist` folder to the VM (via `/tmp`) and moved it into
+  `/var/www/html/project1`, replacing anything already there.
+
+## Verification
+
+The application is live at http://it2810-23.idi.ntnu.no/project1/.
+
+- JavaScript, CSS and images all load correctly.
+- Filtering, sorting, country selection and navigation work as expected.
+- The country list loads from the REST API on the VM.
+- No errors appear in the browser console.
