Web-based backend for the interactive experiments using the psynteract library.
This repository is mostly for development purposes. You are very welcome to poke around and contribute -- if you are looking to build experiments using psynteract, you might be looking for the OpenSesame or pure Python libraries for psynteract, which come bundled with this backend and an installer.
This software is currently in beta: All core functionality is present and relatively stable.
If you would like to alter the design or behavior of the backend, you are very welcome to do so!
To work with the repository, you will need node and npm. Using these, the dependencies for the later steps can be installed by running the following commands within your copy of the repository:
npm install # Install npm packages that are used in the build process
bower install # Download third-party librariesThereafter, the package can be (re)built with the following commands:
gulp # Compile CoffeeScript and copy third-party files
node build.js # Build a JSON blob to be uploaded to the databaseFinally, the resulting file backend.json can be uploaded to a database using the following command:
# Upload the JSON blob to a CouchDB instance
curl -X PUT http://[couchdb_host]/[db_name]/_design/psynteract -d @backend.json
