LimbForge R&D Development Tool
This is a tool for enabling easy scaling of .stl files by a web client. The files can then be inspected in the browser's 3D canvas and downloaded as a single zip file.
Setting up your dev environment
(Note: these instructions are for Linux and OS X)
Install Node. My personal favorite way of installing and managing node is with NVM (Node Version Manager).
Copy this script into your terminal
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
Now we're going to run a few steps to get NVM up and running.
Copy and paste the code below into your terminal. It will do the following:
- Set nvm to run whenever you open a terminal
sudo echo ". ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
- Run nvm for this terminal window instance
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
- Download your favorite version of Node. For this project, we will be using Node V5.10
nvm install v5.10
nvm alias default v5.10
As of now, the dev environment is only a Sass compiler and a file server. To download the required tools, type:
npm install
Okay, all the tough stuff is done. To run our server type:
npm start
Go to localhost:8080 to check out the site!
