The Great Puzzle Hunt

An on-line and in person real-time puzzle scavenger hunt!

Development Setup

1. I recommend you install and start using the ZSH Shell (via the oh-my-zsh project as linked)

2. Install NVM

3. Install MongoDB

4. Install Meteor

5. Use NVM to install [email protected] and set an alias for that version as meteor. If you want to use yarn as well install yarn.

$ nvm install 4.4.7

$ nvm alias meteor 4.4.7
$ nvm use meteor
$ npm i -g yarn

6. Clone the repo

$ git clone [email protected]:kyle-rader/puzzlehunt.git

7. CD into the repo and install NPM packages

$ cd puzzlehunt/
$ yarn install  # instead of npm install

8. Add a new development settings file called settings-development.json

9. Run the application using the scripts define in package.json

$ yarn start

10. In another shell you can connect to the Meteor server with the Meteor shell (much like rails console).

$ meteor shell
