Install

The following prerequisites are required to build and use the website along with a brief guide to quickly set it up.

Apache+MySQL server

There are great tutorials available for this online, so we won't duplicate them here.

mysqlnd driver

On Ubuntu (and Debian, Linux Mint, etc.), an easy way to get node is to run:

sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd

On Fedora (and other similar distributions):

yum install php-mysqlnd

Node.js

In order to run the build process, you'll need Node.js and some npm modules.

There are several ways to install node.js, and it might be best for you to Google about how to get the latest version of node.js for your system. This repo has been tested with node v0.12. (The version provided by the default package manager is generally old.)

On Ubuntu (and Debian, Linux Mint, etc.), an easy way to get node is to run:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -

# Then install with:
sudo apt-get install nodejs

An easy way to get node.js (not sure if latest version) on Fedora (and other similar distributions) is to run:

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -

# Then install with:
yum install nodejs

Common ways to keep an updated node.js installation are to use nvm or n.

Composer

You'll also need to get composer, a PHP package manager.

There are excellent instructions on how to download it at getcomposer.org/download.

For quick reference, you can download a working composer script into your current directory by running:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --filename=composer

You'll have to move it to some directory that's in your $PATH if you want to run it without giving a file path.

After you've got node and composer set up, check out README.md for information about how to run the build process and set up the site.
