This is part of the javascript/coffeescript workshops, given on 2011-11-01 and 2011-11-09 by Iain Hecker at Finalist.
First, clone this repository.
To make things easier, I've included a script to get you up and runnig.
If you're running on Ubuntu, simply run:
./install.sh
You'll need development headers (through Xcode), python and curl.
If you're using Homebrew, it's probably best to install Node.js via that.
brew install node
After that, resume normal installation:
./install.sh
I've also included possibility to install it in a VM.
Install Ruby and VirtualBox, then run:
gem install vagrant
vagrant up
This will take a lot of time the first time, because it will download Linux and compile Node.js.
Login to your freshly created VM:
vagrant ssh
Go to the project directory:
cd /vagrant
From here you can run the rest of the scripts.
If you're done, don't forget to shut down the VM with vagrant halt.
Run the specs of a sample project:
jasmine-node --coffee DIRECTORY
So the example specs (to see if everything installed correctly):
jasmine-node --coffee example
It has one passing spec and one failing spec. Try fixing it as a first exercise.
