Setting up your development environment

1. Install NodeJS.

2. npm install -g grunt-cli bower http-server

3. Create a new Firebase datastore (suggested name: learnful-dev-<username>).

4. Set up environment variables in your .bashrc:

    export LEARNFUL_FIREBASE=learnful-dev-<username>
    export LEARNFUL_FIREBASE_AUTH=<secret>

   You can find the auth secret in your Firebase datastore's dashboard, appropriately enough in the "Secrets" section.

5. Clone the repository onto your machine.

6. Run the backend code:

    cd learnful/server
    npm install
    node main.js
   

   Leave it running in a separate shell.

7. Build and run the frontend code:

    cd learnful/client
    npm install
    bower install
    grunt
    http-server
   

   You only need to rebuild if you create or delete files in learnful/client/src, add or remove Bower components, or change the environment variables above. Otherwise, just reload the page.

8. Build a client distribution:

    cd learnful/client
    grunt dist
    http-server dist
   

   Note that anything committed to master is immediately deployed to production, and that you'll need to sign a Contributor Licensing Agreement before we can accept your pull request.
