HourMonitor is a simple web application for tracking hours worked, designed to be mobile friendly and multiplatform.
Make sure you have installed all these prerequisites on your development machine.
- Node.js - Download & Install Node.js and the npm package manager, if you encounter any problems, you can also use this GitHub Gist to install Node.js.
- MongoDB - Download & Install MongoDB, and make sure it's running on the default port (27017).
- Bower - You're going to use the Bower Package Manager to manage your front-end packages, in order to install it make sure you've installed Node.js and npm, then install bower globally using npm:
$ npm install -g bower
- Yeoman - Install the generator with npm:
$ npm install -g yo
- Grunt - You're going to use the Grunt Task Runner to automate your development process, in order to install it make sure you've installed Node.js and npm, then install grunt globally using npm:
$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
- Python - Download & Install
- GIT - Download & Install
- JDK - Download & Install
###Windows
- Install python 2.7 (not 3) and select to add to path
- Install git
- Install Node.js
- Install MongoDB (also add path to env var e.g. C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin to make starting it easier)
- Create dirs C:\data\db\
- clone this repo
- Open new powershell(now called ps2) and cd to repo dir
- Enter in ps2:
npm install -g bower
- Enter in ps2:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
- Enter in ps2:
$ npm install -g generator-meanjs
- Install the rest of the projects dependencies. enter in ps2:
$ npm install
This command does a few things:
- First it will install the dependencies needed for the application to run.
- If you're running in a development environment, it will then also install development dependencies needed for testing and running your application.
- Finally, when the install process is over, npm will initiate a bower install command to install all the front-end modules needed for the application
###Linux TODO: Add linux install instructions
After the install process is over, you'll be able to run your application using Grunt, just run grunt default task:
$ grunt
Your application should run on the 3000 port so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000
You also need mongodb running in a seperate shell:
$ mongod
Your db should run on the 27017 port so in your browser just go to http://localhost:27017
That's it! your application should be running by now, to proceed with your development check the other sections in this documentation. If you encounter any problem try the Troubleshooting section.
