NC.js

Setting up a development environment

1. Download and build STEPNode

> git clone https://github.com/steptools/STEPNode.git
> cd STEPNode
> npm install

---

2. Clone NC.js into the same directory that contains the STEPNode directory, E.G.:

> cd ..
> git clone https://github.com/steptools/STEPNode.git
> ls
STEPNode      NC.js

---

3. Setting up which model to use

In config.js put the path of the .stpnc file you want to use in the file object under the dir key

"file" : {"dir": "path_to_.stpnc_file"} 

---

4. Install Glyphicons

> cd src/client
> cp ~Downloads/fonts ./fonts

---

5. Install nodejs packages

> npm install

---

6. Making a server

Making a server will build and then start the server

> npm run make

or, to minimize the file sizes

> npm run make-release

---

7. Start a server

If a server doesn't need to be rebuilt, this will be faster than making everytime.

> npm start

or to use a specific model and overload the config.js

> npm start -- -f "path_to_.stpnc_file"
