Setup a development environment

Windows

This project uses Node.js, Python 2.7 and some modules. For now, these have to be manually installed.

• Download Node.js from: https://nodejs.org/en/
• Install python 2.7.* from: https://www.python.org/
  IMPORTANT: During the installation there is an opt-in to add Python to the path variable. You have to do this otherwise the project can't find Python. If you get errors later call setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python33\Scripts" from the terminal. This will add Python to your path.
• If you don't have Visual Studio installed, npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Mac

• Install Homebrew
• brew install node

Running

• npm run build-python
• npm install
• ./node_modules/.bin/webpack
• npm run dev (this will run webpack watching for changes while starting the app)
