In case you wish to create your own module or contribute to the project, follow these steps to setup your environment.
First, install Node.js if you haven't yet. npm is the package manager for Node.js and comes bundled with it.
Install Webpack:
$> sudo npm install webpack -g
Clone the repository:
$> git clone https://github.com/SOCR/SOCRAT.git
$> cd SOCRAT
If you're interested in latest changes or want to contribute to the project, switch to the dev branch:
$> git checkout dev
$> git pull
Now, lets install all the dependencies:
$> npm install
This will install all the dependencies mentioned in package.json files.
Start the development server and see the application running at localhost:8080:
$> npm run serve
SOCR, Statistics Online Computational Resource has a huge user base who constantly access the educational data present and java tools which use these data to aid in understanding statistics.
As far as the technology is concerned, currently all the applications are written in java and are presented as java applets. The reach of these applications is bottlenecked by technology.
The world is going the HTML5 way. Browsers are becoming more powerful.
We intend to create a toolbox which will serve users on all platforms. We are primarily using CoffeeScript (compiles to JavaScript) for all the computations and presentation. Given the fact that today’s browsers have powerful javaScript engines (v8, SpiderMonkey), we perform all the calculations on the browser with no server dependency. File management, database, computation will be performed inside the browser.
