This repository contains the source code for the MICAVIBE project's public website.
So you'd like to build a webapp! The following instructions are for Mac or Linux users.
If you'd like to download MICAVIBE and run it yourself, can use git to get this project:
$ git clone https://github.com/micais2019/MICAVIBE.git
Then you'll need to install node.js.
After you have node.js and npm (which comes with node.js) installed, you can install project support packages:
$ cd MICAVIBE
$ npm install
And the pm2 process manager tool:
$ npm install -g pm2
And copy the sample configuration file, .nconf.json.sample to it's proper location.
$ cp .nconf.json.sample .nconf.json
You'll need to add Adafruit IO credentials for a user to .nconf.json in
order to use MQTT and the /weather API.
For now, server.js is hard coded to the mica_ia Adafruit IO account.
Now that that setup is finished, you can start pm2 to run the server locally
and run npm run watch to build client-side assets locally.
$ pm2 start ecosystem.config.js
$ npm run watch
And you should be up and running!
