Environment Setup

Flashbang needs a bit of a setup before you can run it successfully. It takes about 5 minutes to get there so don't worry:

Requirements:

• node.js version 0.8+: sudo apt-get install nodejs
• npm: sudo apt-get install npm
• grunt-cli: npm install -g grunt-cli
• unzip: sudo apt-get install unzip
• Java version 1.6+ (sorry for that, use a VM maybe)
• and, of course, git: sudo apt-get install git

Setup:

• Make sure you have the tools mentioned above installed
• Now traverse into the shumway folder: cd shumway
• Then run git submodule init
• Then run make bootstrap to install necessary libs

Optional Stuff:

Additional utilities might be needed for later versions:

• For doing Tamarin's AVM2 tests:

  sudo apt-get install mercurial
  make -C utils/ install-tamarin-src install-tamarin-tests
  

• For running tests against Flex files:

  make -C utils/ install-flex-sdk
