Software

NodeJS & npm

Git
Git Aware Prompt

NB. This is a 64 bit install. If you have a 32 bit system, this will not work.

How to install

Download and install Vagrant from VagrantUp.com
Download and install VirtualBox from Virtualbox.org
In the root of the project, type vagrant up (this will take a loooong time, you have run the consele as an administrator)
Login to the machine by typing vagrant ssh
Run the app by typing runall

That's it. The app is now running.

server runs on localhost:5000 (on your host machine) -> farwarded to port 5000 on the VM
client runs on localhost: 4201 (on your host machine) -> forwarded to 4200 on the VM

You can kill both processes by typing killall node (this kills all node processes).

Suspend, halt or destroy the VM

to pause the VM in its current state, use vagrant suspend (in the Vagrant root folder, outside the VM)
to halt the VM (as if shutting down the computer), use vagrant halt
to completely remove the virtual machine type in vagrant destroy
to start it again use vagrant up

Shared folders

The KypoViz-client and KypoViz-server folders are shared between the host and the virtual machine. Their content can be found on /opt/dev/ in the virtual machine. That way you can edit the source code in the host, but run the development environment in vagrant.

SSHing

This is fairly simple. In a terminal, go to your Vagrant directory and type vagrant ssh. That will connect you to the Vagrant box and you can control it. Your user is vagrant and you have passwordless sudo access.
