Not included Dependencies and Third-Party Software

Some vendors are not included in the git repository. Add the following libraries and third-party plugins in order to successfully run the App.

• [markdown-js] (https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js) This is the Markdown-to-HTML converter library. Copy the markdown.min.js file into the /public/vendors/markdown/addons folder.

  Dary uses the [bootstrap-markdown] (http://toopay.github.io/bootstrap-markdown/) editor, however, it is (and some of its dependencies are) included via CDNs.

• [to-markdown] (https://github.com/domchristie/to-markdown) This converts HTML back to Markdown (used for editing). Copy the to-markdown.js file into the /public/vendors/markdown/addons folder.

• ~~[Polymer] (http://www.polymer-project.org) This is a Google UI-Element Library. Install its core- and paper-elements into the /public/vendors/polymer folder preferably by using Twitter's package manager *Bower~~
