Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/ahmedNY/singlebody.git
$ cd singlebody/backend
$ npm install
$ cd ../frontend
$ npm install

Running projects

# launching backend
$ cd backend
$ npm start
# launching frontend
$ cd frontend
$ npm start

You will also need to install:

• On Unix:

  • python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
  • make
  • A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC

• On Mac OS X:

  • python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported) (already installed on Mac OS X)
  • Xcode
    • You also need to install the Command Line Tools via Xcode. You can find this under the menu Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads
    • This step will install gcc and the related toolchain containing make

• On Windows:

  • Option 1: Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).
  • Option 2: Install tools and configuration manually:

    • Visual C++ Build Environment:

      • Option 1: Install Visual C++ Build Tools using the Default Install option.

      • Option 2: Install Visual Studio 2015 (or modify an existing installation) and select Common Tools for Visual C++ during setup. This also works with the free Community and Express for Desktop editions.

      💡 [Windows Vista / 7 only] requires .NET Framework 4.5.1

    • Install Python 2.7 (v3.x.x is not supported), and run npm config set python python2.7 (or see below for further instructions on specifying the proper Python version and path.)

    • Launch cmd, npm config set msvs_version 2015

  If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows for additional tips.

If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python version node-gyp uses by setting the '--python' variable:

$ npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7

Note that OS X is just a flavour of Unix and so needs python, make, and C/C++. An easy way to obtain these is to install XCode from Apple, and then use it to install the command line tools (under Preferences -> Downloads).
