It's Live Chat!

Before doing anything else make sure you have these applications:

• npm

  This is used for running bower and downloading required libraries

• git

  This is the SVN used for downloading and updating this repository

npm and git are required during development only, they are not used in production!

1. Get this source

$ git clone https://github.com/sangahco/pmis-livechat.git

2. Run the application

Go inside the new folder and execute these commands from a console:

$ git submodule update
$ npm install -g bower-installer
$ npm install
$ npm start

npm install will install the necessary modules, bower and bower-installer and will prepare the root folder with necessary dependencies.

git submodule update will retrieve some AngularJS commons libraries from our git repository used by this application.

The following folders will be created under the root folder:

• node_modules (only development)

  Used in order to run bower, but not required in production.

• bower_components (only development)

  Used by bower to take libraries, used only when you prepare the folder, not required to run the application.

• libs

  Contains the libraries required by the application (jquery,bootstrap,angular).

You will be presented with the following page

3. Distribute the Client source for production

You can test the code typing on a terminal the following command, in order to build the javascript files, then make sure you go on the next point to start it:

$ npm install -g grunt
$ npm install --only=dev
$ npm run publish

A new dist folder will be created with all the files required to run the client side.
