desktopjs

Test it out

dpmjs

You need dpmjs, the desktopjs package manager, in order to install desktop.js apps. To install it, do the following:

git clone https://github.com/facekapow/dpm.git
cd dpm
sudo npm install -g ./
cd ..

Requirements

Bower
Node.js OR io.js

Note: you must have root privileges (su, sudo, etc...) to run this (it uses port 80)

Run it

Clone the repo, cd into it and:

bower update
npm install
# done with desktopjs deps, now let's install some apps
mkdir apps
dpm install files
dpm install edit
dpm install image
dpm install term
# now let's actually start the desktop
sudo node backend.js # for node
# OR
sudo iojs backend.js # for iojs

Then open up your browser (desktopjs has only been tested with Google Chrome, so if you're not using Google Chrome, don't complain if it doesn't work) and go to localhost.
