Popcorn

This demo application showcases how to structure and optimize a MontageJS application for tablets.

##Installation

To run this demo locally you need:

A web server of your choice. MontageJS applications are client-side applications with no particular back-end dependency.
Node.js and npm. MontageJS uses Node.js and npm for its developer tools and for code dependency management.
Cloned GitHub repo of this demo.

First, if you haven't done so already, download and run the prebuilt Node.js installer for your platform from the Node.js website to install npm.

Then, to run the Popcorn demo locally, follow these steps:

Clone the popcorn GitHub repo in your desktop.
Use your command line tool to navigate to the cloned directory and install the modules required to run the demo:
```
cd popcorn
npm update
```
Spin up your preferred HTTP server and point your browser to the associated port.

During development MontageJS applications rely on XHR to load their various components and modules, which is why you will need a web server to serve the demo.

If you happen to have minit, the Montage Initializer, installed (npm install minit -g) you can run minit serve from within the demo directory to set up a server on demand.
