Getting started

To run Florence you must have Golang installed on a UNIX machine.

Once you have installed those dependencies and cloned this repo you need to run the following:

  1. Move into the correct directory

    cd florence
  2. Build node modules (you won't need to do this everytime only when the assets need to be rebuilt)

    make node-modules
  3. Run the server

    make debug

Steps 2 & 3 can also be run with the following command:

make dev

This will build the node modules and then run the server

  1. Browse to the Florence homepage http://localhost:8081/florence

  2. If you are running Florence for the first time you will need to login with the setup credentials. You will be asked to change this password.
