Setup

Sign Up for 3rd Party Services

You'll need to create an account for all of these free services:

• Box View API key: http://box.com/developer_signup
• Kadira: https://ui.kadira.io/sign-up?plan=free
• Google Analytics: https://www.google.com/analytics/

Install Meteor

If you haven't installed Meteor yet, run this command:

$ curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

Clone the repo

Run:

$ git clone https://github.com/seanrose/broadcast.git
$ cd broadcast

Add settings.json

You'll need to add a settings.json file at the root with the API keys from all of the services you signed up for:

{
    "box": {
        "token": "API key for Box View"
    },
    "kadira": {
    	"appId": "Kadira App ID",
    	"appSecret": "Kadira App Secret"
    },
    "public": {
        "filepicker": {
            "key": "filepicker API key"
        },
        "ga": {
            "id": "Google Analytics tracking ID"
        },
        "typekit": {
            "url": "Typekit URL (not used yet)"
        }
    }

}

Install Packages

Install the required packages:

$ meteor update

Set Up Box View Webhooks

Broadcast uses webhooks from Box View to load converted presentations immediataely and create an ultra fast experience. To set up Box View webhooks, email api@box.com with your API key and the URL that they need to send webhooks to, which by default is https://{{ your app name }}/webhook

Running the App Locally

From the root of the project, after configuring settings.json, run this command:

$ meteor --settings settings.json

Deploying the App to meteor.com

Decide on a name for your app, and run this command from the root of your broadcast directory:

$ meteor deploy {{ your app name }} --settings settings.json

You may want to create a file named deploy.sh at the root of your project with this command and other deployment configurations to make deploying easier.
