Contacts management system for NYPH.

ZERO

Setup

Environment

1. Install Node.js and MongoDB.
2. You may need to install bower and grunt globally with npm install -g bower and npm install -g grunt-cli.
3. To get ZERO running locally, you need a running instance of MongoDB.

Note: In case that you are new to MongoDB, it is quiet easy to setup your first instance. After MongoDB installed, just make a directory as your DB path, such as mkdir ~/data/db/ and then run mongod --dbpath ~/data/db.

Get ready before first run

1. Clone the repo into a directory and cd into it.
2. Run npm install
3. Run bower install
4. Run grunt build

Set the local server up!

1. Run node node_test_server/app.js
2. Run grunt serve

ZERO will be opened in your browser automaticly as localhost:9000.

Note that grunt serve command will also start a process to watch the changes applied to related files. When you change the source files, they will be re-compiled automaticly and the webpage will refresh itself (on modern browsers).
