This repository is a fork of the Lively Kernel Webwerkstatt wiki at HPI. To learn more about the motivation and long-term vision for this repository see the wiki.
Get Lively Kernel core up and running.
1. node.js: In a terminal try running node -v. If that fails install node.js.
2. npm: Try running npm -v. If that fails run curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh in your terminal to install it.
1. Clone the Lively Kernel repository.
``
git clone git@github.com:rksm/LivelyKernel.git ~/LivelyKernel
2. Go into the Lively Kernel directory and run npm:
`
cd ~/LivelyKernel
npm install
3. In that directory start the minimal server
`
lk server
That's it. You can now visit a rather boring page blank.xhtml workd or run the tests with lk test.
Note 1 You only need to do this if you want to run a full-fletched Lively Kernel installation that provides the functionality to run a Lively Wiki.
Note 2 We are currently working on a pure node.js solution to get rid of apache and the complicated setup process.
See installation notes for apache on Debian and Mac OS x for details.
You can install all the cool tools from Webwerkstatt's PartsBin. Have a look at the HOWTO.
Note: Make sure you have all required node.js modules installed. Run npm install to do so.
To start the Lively tests from the command line first start the server:
lk server
To initiate a test run do
lk test
This runs tests in the browser you specified in testing/config.js. See lk test --help` for all the test runner options.
We use Travis-CI to run tests continuously on every commit into the Master branch:
