A Compás

A flamenco metronome available in two versions :

• Web application (available at http://acompas.audio).
• Mobile application using Crosswalk, available on the Google Play marketplace.

It makes use of Web Audio API to play various flamenco rhythms and features a visual animation.

Installing the web application (the simple way)

# Clone the git repository in the current folder
git clone https://github.com/ElJere/aCompas.git
# Go inside the folder created by the previous command
cd aCompas
# Install dependencies using bower
bower install
# Synchronize assets to the web/ and crosswalk/ folders
./sync_assets.sh
# Run a basic web server on port 8000
./server.sh

Then, open your favorite web browser and go to http://localhost:8000

Installing the web application (the vagrant way)

Get the latest version of vagrant at https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Then in the project folder

# Clone the git repository in the current folder
git clone https://github.com/ElJere/aCompas.git
# Go inside the folder created by the previous command
cd aCompas
# Create and provision the vm
vagrant up --provision
# ssh into the vm
vagrant ssh
# Go inside mounted project folder
cd /vagrant
# Setup dependendencies
bower install
# Synchronize assets to the web/ and crosswalk/ folders
./sync_assets.sh
# Run a basic web server on port 8000
./server.sh

Then, in the host operating system (not inside the virtual machine), open your favorite web browser and go to http://192.168.50.2:8000
