Fenestra

A dashboard for the OSU Open Source Lab, based on the Smashing dashboard. Check out https://github.com/SmashingDashboard/smashing for more information.

This dashboard includes module for displaying OSL datacenter, FTP and social data. It will eventually include a touch interface to the API, allowing for control of the displayed dashboard via a web or Android app.

Setup

Fenestra uses bower to handle JS dependencies, install bower and use it by running:

.. code::

npm install -g bower
bower install

Fenestra requires Ruby Version 1.9.X and above; if you are not using this by default refer to the Using RVM_ section. To install the ruby dependencies run

.. code::

bundle install

If you get an error message involving rmagick, try :code:sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev for Debian and :code:yum install ImageMagick-devel for RHEL.

Lastly, copy the file config.yml.sample to config.yml

.. code::

cp config.yml.sample config.yml

Using RVM

First make sure you have RVM installed http://rvm.io/rvm/install.

Next, make sure you have RVM in your PATH and sourced RVM scripts by adding the following lines to your bashrc:

.. code::

export PATH="$HOME/.rvm/bin:$PATH" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
source $HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm

RVM conflicts with other ruby managers. Be sure that only one is being used.

Create a gemset specifically for your Fenestra gems:

.. code::

rvm gemset create fenestra
rvm gemset use fenestra
bundle install

Starting The App

To start Fenestra, run

.. code::

smashing start
