You need to have your development environment set up for this code to run.
First you need a redis-server. Redis is used for session management. If you want ot swap out the redis server for a different session managemetn then change the server/index.html file.
To install redis follow the instructions on http://redis.io/download
Start the redis server (redis-server command)
The database used is Neo4j. This is the leading open source graph database. To install it follow the instructions at http://www.neo4j.org/download. This code is tested against version 2.0 M04. For Mac users I find brew very useful "brew install neo4j". You will need to run a separate test environment. For this you will need to download the same version that you have installed and follow the instructions at http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/server-installation.html#_multiple_server_instances_on_one_machine. If you have already installed a first instance then just follow along with the second instance instructions. For the second instance use port 7475.
Start your two neo4j instances
Now clone this repo to your workspace and install the dependencies
- 'cd angular-neo4j'
npm install
There is an issue with the 'angular-ui-router' bower install at the time of writing (This may be fixed by the time you read this). You need to build the repository:
'cd src/bower_components/angular-ui-router' 'npm install' 'grunt' 'cd ../../../'
Finally set up the config file. You will need to copy the file server/config/config-sample.js file to server/config/config.js. Fill in all of the details as appropriate.
The final step is to run grunt build.
Start the server with grunt server
If you try to register it should work but you'll notice a very generic email response. If you want to customise the email templates then navigate to server/lib/emailTemplates
There are rough edges. Have a look at the existing bugs and if you can offer any assistance or advice that would also be appreciated.
If you come across and defects or have some changes please raise an issue along with as much detail as possible. Pull requests are always welcome.
Good luck
