If you want to try franchise out, there's an online version you try right now right here.

If you're interested in contributing, there are instructions for running franchise in development mode in the readme.

Otherwise...

Deploying Locally

0. If you don't have npm or yarn, install yarn.

1. Open up a terminal and run

   git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HVF/franchise.git

2. cd into the project directory

   cd franchise

3. Install the project dependencies

   yarn install

   (you can also run npm install)

4. Build franchise to static files

   yarn build

   This command makes a folder named /bundle containing an index.html file which runs franchise when you open it in a browser.

5. Serve the static files

   Use the http server of your choice to serve the contents of the /bundle directory. Using python, you might write:

   cd bundle
   python -m SimpleHTTPServer
