Install instructions for OS X

These instructions are to install a development (not live) version of CrowdVoice app.

    user: 'your_user',
    password: ''
  },

    min: 2,
    max: 10
  },

  migrations: {

  }
},

knex migrate:latest

Config

• Copy config/config-example.js to config/config.js (cp config/config-example.js config/config.js)
• Edit config.js
  • Update database for your own setup, most likely the same as your knexfile.js

Image processing

# Run the following commands
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
brew install homebrew/science/vips --with-webp --with-graphicsmagick

Additionally you can check the sharp module's readme for more information on the dependencies.

brew install ffmpeg --with-theora --with-x264

Generate mock data

node bin/data_generator.js POSTS

Replace POSTS with whatever amount of posts you want per voice, 10 by default. This is a time consuming operation so if you don't need posts it is recommended to not generate any posts (0).

Run the app

npm i
npm i -g webpack
webpack -d
npm start
