How to install the Open Event Web App Generator on my local machine

Deploying Locally

First install the dependencies.

npm install or npm install bcrypt
npm install --save-dev

if you get an error, then fix npm permissions globally. Then restart from step 1. refer this:"https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions"

Sometimes it may give an error of fetch failed then type

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

and then restart the terminal and start from step 1

Install and run Redis

sudo apt-get install redis-server
redis-server

Run the app

npm run start

or

npm run server.generator

The app will be running on http://localhost:5000

Note : If you are running the app behind a proxy, set the proxy option in config.json to http://username:password@proxy_url:proxy_port, and make sure it is url encoded.

Requirements

Component Name/Flavour Minimum Version
OS Mac/Windows/Linux Any
Node.js v4.0 (or above)
Browser Firefox/Chrome/Safari 21+/11+/9+

Note: Computers running on Windows OS may encounter problems when installing the Webapp Generator on local machines. As Windows does not come bundled with a C++ compiler, which is needed in NodeJS, the command prompt may throw up a error which states that node-gyp rebuild fails on your system. Hence it is advised a further prerequisite (for Windows users) is to download Visual Studio Community 2015 which contains a C++ compiler (link is https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/).

Note: If you are using Windows OS and getting errors like gyp ERR! configure error or gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python" then you can now install all node-gyp dependencies with these commands: (Run As Admin in Windows PowerShell)

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

and then install the package

npm install --global node-gyp
