Installation and Usage

Requirements:

• NodeJS >= 0.6.16
• NPM >= 1.1.16
• libxml2-dev

Install:

# Be sure you have sourcemint installed:
npm install -g sm

# Then:
sm clone --dev https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9/tree/master cloud9

# or
git clone https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git cloud9
cd cloud9
sm install

The above install steps create a cloud9 directory in your current directory. Just cd into it and run bin/cloud9.sh to start:

cd cloud9
bin/cloud9.sh

Optionally, you may specify the directory you'd like to edit:

bin/cloud9.sh -w ~/git/myproject

Cloud9 will be started as a web server on port -p 3131, you can access it by pointing your browser to: http://localhost:3131

By default Cloud9 will only listen to localhost. To listen to a different IP or hostname, use the -l HOSTNAME flag. If you want to listen to all IP's:

bin/cloud9.sh -l 0.0.0.0

If you are listening to all IPs it is adviced to add authentication to the IDE. You can either do this by adding a reverse proxy in front of Cloud9, or use the built in basic authentication through the --username and --password flags.

bin/cloud9.sh --username leuser --password c9isawesome

Cloud9 is compatible with all connect authentication layers, to implement your own, please see the plugins-server/cloud9.connect.basic-auth plugin on how we added basic authentication.
