Note This is an older and very experimental version of SyncMeta. I merged various widgets into one standalone application outside of the ROLE SDK. Beware that it is really buggy and a lot of features are missing.
For explanations, presentations, demos and links to modeling sandboxes and other stuff please visit the SyncMeta homepage.
- Make sure to have npm, bower and grunt installed
- Use your favorite package manager or grab npm from [here][2]
- Use npm to install bower:
npm install -g bower - Use npm to first install grunt-cli and then grunt itself:
npm install -g grunt-cli grunt
- Install development dependencies:
npm install - Install dependencies:
bower install - Copy .localGruntConfig.json.sample and name it .localGruntConfig.json
- Change baseUrl in .localGruntConfig.json to the deployment url
- Run
grunt buildto build the widgets.
In order to deploy SyncMeta to http://role-sandbox.eu/spaces/syncmeta,
you have to push your latest changes to the gh-pages github branch.
(See github pages for explanation)
Attention!, Please be aware that any changes you commit to the gh-pages branch will affect all ROLE spaces that link to widget definitions in this branch. Therefore only push very goodly tested commits to gh-pages.
Attention!, We don't recommend to use the Pyhton's SimpleHTTPServer. See this issue for more information.
If you only want to deploy the SyncMeta widgets just run grunt connect after building the widgets. It starts a http server on port 8081.
Otherwise u can use nginx or AIDeX Mini-Webserver
###Versions Syncmeta uses the awesome Yjs framework to provide near-realtime collaborative modeling in the web browser. The previous version of Syncmeta uses the OpenCoWeb OT framework and is still available in the opencoweb-ot branch.
