     cp inc/config.sample.php inc/config.php

   • edit config.php so that it has the correct DB settings

Initial setup

1. populate the DB with the latest data

   php scripts/update-db.php

   (you can also run this from the browser)

2. For development purposes you will need to

   1. install npm

   2. install the project dependencies

      npm install

   3. run gulp

      gulp

      Keep this terminal open so that it automatically lints, concatenates and compresses our JS and SASS.

TODO - help us out with a PR if you can

1. Change the update script to get data from BM reports directly instead of gridwatch

Dev notes

All front-end changes should be made to the files in /assets never to those in static. Gulp will clean staticregularly and any changes made there will be lost.
