• Install Git if you don't have it already: sudo apt-get install git
• Install MongoDB if you don't have it already: sudo apt-get install mongodb-server
• Install node.js if you don't have it already: sudo apt-get install nodejs (and sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy on Debian distros)
• Open a console window and cd to the parent directory of where you want to work on code
• Clone the git repository: git clone [email protected]:nrgsim/nrgsim.git
• Move into the project directory: cd nrgsim
• Install the projects node modules: npm install
• Start MongoDB: sudo /etc/init.d/mongodb start
• Run the server app
  • Standalone: node server.js or npm start
  • With nodemon (auto restarts when changes made during development): nodemon [--debug] server.js

At this point the server application is ready to run but nothing will happen without the client application getting built first. To build the client application, see the readme.md file at public/readme.md. In particular if you want to run this app using this server side code, you need to run lineman dist in order to build the client app so that it can get served by the web server.

Nodemon - useful for restarting express when something changes: npm install -g nodemon

Run from command line at root of project: runTests.cmd or npm test
It runs all the tests under the 'tests/' directory. They can be written in JavaScript or CoffeeScript.

The following is how to run the app on the production server. cd /data/app-dev/nrgsim sudo PORT=8000 forever start servers.js &

To stop the app use the following command: sudo forever stop 0
