Install

‘Am I In Las Vegas’ (AIILV) is a Node application written in Javascript.

  1. On a plain Ubuntu system, install the nodejs and npm packages.

    apt-get install -y nodejs npm

  2. Install the additional Node express module:

    npm install express

Install on a Mac using Terminal

  1. install node.js and npm
  2. npm install express
  3. npm install
  4. npm install -g gulp (May need sudo for this)

Run

To run AIILV:

node server.js

Build assets

In order to build the assets, you need to install gulp (npm install -g gulp).

You are of course free to use the locally installed gulp node module if you prefer. node node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js

If you only want to run the SVG compiler and js compile, simply run gulp.

The default task will do a once-off compile and close.

The 'watch' task will monitor any js files for changes and re-run the browserify build automatically if any appropriate files are changed.

You may also use the "npm run-script make" and "npm run-script watch" commands to invoke gulp and gulp watch respectively.

Stylesheets are now auto-generated from source SCSS in the Express server via middleware.

Gotcha

On 3/12/15, "npm run-script watch" and "npm run-script test" failed due to a Browserify glitch.

Changing "watchify": "^2.4.0" in package.json to "watchify": "0.8.1" resolves the error, but potentially causes others. Proceed with caution.
