Daemon

Daemon is a cross-platform frontend for a robotics control system. It's also the future.

Super Quickstart

1. Ensure you have git, npm.
2. npm install -g brunch bower
3. git clone [this repo]
4. cd daemon
5. npm install
6. bower install
7. npm run compiler
8. npm run app

Development Setup

You need the following stuff installed on your machine:

• Node.js & NPM (see the instructions for your operating system. Ensure that globally installed NPM modules are in your PATH!)
• Windows Users: Use a Git Bash or the PowerShell instead of CMD.exe !
• Linux Users: You may have to do a symlink.
• Git. (Brunch and Bower depend on Git to work.) Windows users: try this, there is a good usable CLI included which should work with the workflow out-of-the-box. The primitive CMD.exe is currently NOT supported.
• Brunch via a global npm installation: npm install -g brunch.
• Bower via a global npm installation: npm install -g bower.
• npm install in your directory to install dependencies
• bower install in your directory to install frontend

Tools

• npm run to see the various scripts you can run.
• npm run compiler assembles your application into /_public and watches file changes.
• npm run app starts your application locally.
• npm run deploy builds your app for windows, osx and linux. the binaries are placed in /dist after building.
• bower install <frontend-module> for any frontend-related stuff.
• npm install my-module inside of app/assets to install node.js modules.
