Dependencies

Development tested on Ubuntu 11.10, where the required dependencies can be installed with:

Node.js, Node Package Manager and LESS

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
sudo npm install -g less

Node.js building environment

# source: https://github.com/h5bp/node-build-script
sudo npm -g install grunt
sudo npm install https://github.com/h5bp/node-build-script/tarball/master -g

JS libraries are in the folder js/lib/ and the sources are

Elastic Search (Java server)

# in parent directory, not under librarydirectory folder
cd ..
wget https://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.18.7.tar.gz
tar xvf elasticsearch-0.18.7.tar.gz
# download and extract library data data to data/

Read-only proxy (https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/node.es)

# useable out of the box
# in server/proxy.json defined to use port 8888 
# sudo required for port 80
# expects back-end Elastic Search server at localhost:9200

More Node.js libs for simple server

sudo npm install -g connect@2.0.3
# make sure modules in path, otherwise require('connect') will fail
export NODE_PATH="/usr/lib/node_modules/" # example on Debian/Ubuntu

Generating CSS from LESS

cd less
lessc style.less > style.css

Building the production version

cd build
ant build

The publishable version of the website will appear in folder publish. All intermediate files should be in gitignore.

Running server

  1. Start Elastic Search backend

     cd elasticsearch-0.18.7
 bin/elasticsearch -f

  2. Start proxy for ES

     node proxy.js

  3. Start HTTP server

     node server.js

Finally open localhost:8080 and select index.html to view main screen.
