The Google Analytics demos and tools site runs on Google App Engine and is built with node.js. To run the site locally you'll need to install App Engine and node if you don't already have them.
Once App Engine and node are installed on your system, follow these steps to build and run the site locally:
# Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/googleanalytics/ga-dev-tools.git
cd ga-dev-tools
# Install the build dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt -t python_modules
npm install
npm run build
# Run the local App Engine server.
path/to/dev_appserver.py .If you're wanting to run any of the server-side authorization demos you'll also need to create a service account, add the private JSON key to your project's root directory, and name it service-account-key.json. You can follow the instructions described in the Server-side Authorization demo for more details.
Now you should be able to load http://localhost:8080/ in your browser and see the site. (Note, the client ID associated with this project has the origin localhost:8080 whitelisted. If you load the site on another port, authentication may not work property.)
If you're running App Engine on Windows or Mac, you can use the App Engine Launcher GUI to run the site as an alternative to running the above command.
To have your system watch for changes and automatically rebuild the source files, you can run npm run watch in place of the npm run build command shown above.
