Documentation - Easy install path for small footprint / less dev inclined users

[arimus]

Hey,

I found this project through the much beloved, but now defunct dotjs project. I was looking for something for local dev, but also was trying to see if I could easily get this installed on another team member's machine with less dev know-how required to run some custom JS on a specific domain. The Chrome extension is a snap, but node toolchain...not so much. So, instead I:

• Installed the chrome web server extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb)
• Pointed it at ~/witchcraft with a port of 3131

This only handles the simple case of serving up say a ~/witchcraft/js/localhost file, but this was sufficient for my needs in this case. May be worth mentioning this in the docs as a simple / easy path for anyone that either needs a smaller footprint install or wants to get some of the core functionality without the other moving parts.

Thanks for the software!

Hi @arimus,

Thanks for your suggestion. I decided to take it one step further and completely get rid of my custom server. After a bit of refactoring, the Chrome extension can now function with any simple web server, like the one you suggested. There's no need to install Node.js anymore :-)

There's a new version of Witchcraft at the Chrome app store, in case you want to try. Please follow instructions on how to configure it here: http://luciopaiva.com/witchcraft.

Oh, and make sure to check the credits section in the README.md file :-)

Thanks!
