Description

🔜

Usage

1. Clone the model using the download button up there ↗️

   1. copy the path to your clipboard

   2. open terminal on your computer 💻 (you can find the terminal in utilities folder 📁 of your mac)

   3. if you have git already installed than skip to point iv, else download git here

   4. in the terminal type

      $ cd pathTo/theDirectory
      # first we choose in which directory we want to save our model
      # it also possible to just type "cd" and drag and drop the folder
      # where you want the model to be saved onto the terminal
      
      $ git clone https://github.com/commoningtoys/Iris_Model.git
      # the url may change in the future therefore copy it
      # from the "clone or download" window on the github page

2. after that you need to download all the branches 🎋

   $ git branch -a
       * master
         remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
         remotes/origin/all-capitalist
         remotes/origin/all-curious
         remotes/origin/all-geniesser
         remotes/origin/all-perfectionist
         remotes/origin/master
         remotes/origin/minimum-wage
         remotes/origin/old-model
   
   # we need to create local branches that track also the remote branches
   # to do this we create new local branches with the name matching the remote branches
   # this is done by using the "git checkout" command followed by the branch name
   
   $ git checkout all-capitalist
       Branch 'all-capitalist' set up to track remote branch 'all-capitalist' from 'origin'.
       Switched to a new branch 'all-capitalist'
   
   # we need to do this for all the branches

3. open the model with your favorite code editor

4. depending on the editor (VS Code and Atom have built in server) you may need to install MAMP

   1. if using MAMP make sure that the root folder is linked to the folder were your model is. To do this go to MAMP ➡️ preferences ➡️ web server and drag and drop the folder where the model is to the document root

5. open the browser and if using MAMP go to localhost:8888, if using VS Code or Atom run the built in server.

6. Now the model should be running on your browser BRAVO! 👍👏

7. to switch between the various settings of the model you will need to switch between different branches 🎋. In the terminal use the followings commands

   $ git checkout branch-name
   # available branches:
   # minimum-wage      | this branch sets a minimum wage the agents
   # all-capitalist    | a model with only capitalist agents
   # all-perfectionist | a model with only perfectionist agents
   # all-curious       | a model with only curious agents
   # all-geniesser     | a model with only geniesser agents
   
   # to see which branches are on your machine
   $ git branch
         all-capitalist
         all-curious
         all-geniesser
         all-perfectionist
       * master # the * tells you on which branch you are currently on
         minimum-wage
         old-model

8. refresh your browser to see the new model running
