Web of Things gateway.

Prerequisites

Install OS

(If you're just installing on your PC, you can skip this step).

If you're installing on a Raspberry Pi then you may need to set up the OS on the Raspberry Pi first. See here for instructions.

Install pkg-config

Under Linux:

$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config

Under OSX:

See here.

Install nvm (Recommended)

nvm allows you to easily install different versions of node. To install nvm:

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

Close and reopen your terminal window. Use nvm to install node and set the default version.

$ nvm install v7.7.2
$ nvm use v7.7.2
$ nvm alias default v7.7.2

Verify that node and npm have been installed:

$ npm --version
4.1.2
$ node --version
v7.7.2

Install node (if you didn't use nvm)

(If you already installed node via nvm you can skip this step)

Follow the directions from NodeJS to install on your platform.

Install libusb and libudev (Linux only)

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev

Install git

You'll need git to checkout the repositories.

$ sudo apt-get install git

Build and Install openzwave

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenZWave/open-zwave.git
$ cd open-zwave
$ make && sudo make install

Note: You may need to manually add /usr/local/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable by adding the following to your ~/.profile file:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

(You can run this on the command line as well so it has immediate effect).

Download and Install gateway

Clone the GitHub repository (or fork it first):

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla-iot/gateway.git

Change into the gateway directory:

$ cd gateway

Install dependencies:

NOTE: yarn is preferred but npm install will also work.

$ yarn

Add SSL certificate:

The HTTPS server looks for privatekey.pem and certificate.pem. You can use a real certificate or generate a self-signed one by following the steps below.

$ openssl genrsa -out privatekey.pem 2048
$ openssl req -new -sha256 -key privatekey.pem -out csr.pem
$ openssl x509 -req -in csr.pem -signkey privatekey.pem -out certificate.pem

Start the web server:

$ node app.js

Load https://localhost:4443 in your web browser (or use the server's IP address if loading remotely). Since you're using a self-signed certificate, you'll need to add a security exception in the browser.
