How to run the app

Our front end application uses the ionic framework. This provides some nice benefits, but requires a bit of up-front set up. Here is how you get started:

Install node and npm

npm is the "Node Package Manager." Node is a native runtime for javascript, which normally runs in the browser. Ionic uses javascript running on node, which is why we need it.

Installing node and npm will be different on each operating system, but googling "how do I install node and npm" should get you there. Ping a teammate if you run into problems!

Installing ionic

Get on that command line and do

npm install -g ionic

This uses npm to -globally install ionic (global just means it will be accessible everywhere, like your other CLI tools).

Running ionic

Navigate into MenuPedia/Menupedia -- the first folder is the repo, and the inner one is the ionic project that Cesar created -- and start up the development server:

ionic serve
