Installation

Before running the App, you will need to do the following:

1. Install Nodejs and NPM (Node Package Manager)

   $ apt-get install curl
   $ curl --silent --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -
   $ apt-get install nodejs
   $ apt-get install npm
   

2. Using NPM, install Bower package manager

   $ npm install -g bower
   

3. Install Grunt

   $ npm install -g grunt-cli
   

4. Install the CSS authoring framework Compass (you will need Ruby first)

    $ apt-get install ruby ruby-dev
      $ gem update --system
      $ gem install compass
   

5. Install the Sass language

   $ gem install sass
   

6. Install haml

  $ gem install haml

7. Update the API URLs in app.js to use your local/test/production APIs

Run

1. Get the code

   $ git clone https://github.com/socialappslab/appcivist-pb-client.git
   

2. You need to download the dependencies before run the application so,

   $ npm install
   

3. Now you can run the app typing,

   $ grunt server
   

4. Alternatively, you can use the packaged HTML/JS/CSS version and configure your HTTP server to have index.html as index in that directory

grunt build
cp -rf dist/* /path/to/html/version/appcivist-pb

4. Try visiting the following routes:

   1. Go to localhost:8000
   2. Login with these credentials: [email protected] / secret => /home
   3. Click on "+ Assembly" => /assembly/create
   4. Click "Start Assembly" => /assembly/1/forum
   5. Click "Assemblies" => /assemblies
   6. Click "+Campaign" => /assembly/1/campaign/create

5. For deployment, consider using this sample to create an init.d script and then follow this guide to make sure the service is enabled.

If you have problems maybe you can configure your git with this: git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
