GETTING STARTED

Clone this repository on your computer.

BUCKET SETUP

Open a terminal and cd to the AWS_Setup folder. Run:

chmod +x setupEncryptionBucket.sh
./setupEncryptionBucket.sh

APP SETUP

NOTE: The app has only been tested on nodejs v8.11.1.

Open a terminal and cd to the app folder. Install dependencies :

npm install

Once all the dependencies have been installed, run:

mkdir build
browserify app.js > build/build.js

Next start a webserver and point it to the app folder. You can run:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000
lt --port 3000

The lt command provides a url for the web app. Open the url in your browser and you can use the app.
