It doesn't work anymore

[impnguyen]

Hi guys,

i don't know what's the problem. I downloaded The full package "joseph-Monocle-1db1ed2/" to try the example source code, but any sample code does not work?! I tried with Safari on a mac and the google chrome. I also write my own app. The only way to show the animation is to fill the div with content. ( the book data object does not work, the sample code does not work too )

What is the problem? Could you help me?

Did you build the version that you downloaded? Instructions to build are available at https://github.com/joseph/Monocle/wiki/Building

Build process is mandatory in order to tests pages work well.

Hello Imvco,

I do not understand, why I need this building process? If i include the scripts and css, it should works also. But ok. I downloaded these 3 kinds of file. Sorry for my english, but i do not understand the instructions. Could you help meß

regards

@imoney91 Basically you need to have ruby and rubygems installed on your machine. After that, run:

• gem install rake
• gem install sprockets
• gem install yui-compressor

once you finish these steps, go to the Monocle's root directory (where there is a file called Rakefile) and run rake on your terminal.

Basically, this command will build everything (gather together all the js and css files in few ones) using sprockets and create a directory called dist, where you will have the distributable files. And the tests reference that folder.

from Monocle/test/panels/index.html:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../dist/styles/monocore.css" />

Hello rubemz,

thank you for the detailed instruction. I tried but I have no persmission, but I have admin permission, so what's the matter?

error message:

"ad360:Downloads rnd$ gem install yui-compressor

ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError) You don't have write permissions into the /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 directory. "

best regards

thank you

@imoney91 try sudo gem install yui-compressor \cc @fgrehm

I'm in the same (newbie) place as iMoney. Following your directions, I was able to get Ruby upgraded and the gems installed. Now, when I run the RakeFile inside the Monocle directory, I get:

/Users/dave.../Monocle/Rakefile ; exit; unknown0023dfff024f:~ dave$ /Users/dave/.../Monocle/Rakefile ; exit; /Users/dave/.../Monocle/Rakefile: line 1: class: command not found /Users/dave.../Monocle/Rakefile: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token (' /Users/dave/.../Monocle/Rakefile: line 3: def build(options = {})' logout

I have the same question as iMoney. What is the role of Ruby in this? Is it possible to package up a set of html and javascript files that can be run anywhere or does monocle need to be "served" by a Ruby application?

Thanks for your assistance with this. I realize you probably didn't sign up for teaching people how to use terminal, but the help is greatly appreciated.

I am developing in a Windows machine, so I am using rake through Cygwin packages.

Steps to build Monocle in Windows

1. Install cygwin - http://cygwin.com/index.html
2. Select the packages below ruby ruby-rake
3. Open cygwin command window
4. Execute: gem install sprockets cd monocle_dist_dirc rake

I appreciate that not everyone who wants to hack around with Monocle should have to build it. You can use the pre-built script in the downloads section here on Github. If you just want to explore the tests and examples, you can use the official test site here: http://test.monoclejs.com/test/

Building Monocle yourself is really only necessary if you are making changes to the core code for your own app or to contribute to the project. Thanks @lmvco and @rubemz for helping out with advice.
