Installing and running this demonstration

The demonstration can be locally (on your desktop) started in the following way (fist, check if you have the pre-requisites):

First, install the GeoVolume server.

Then :

npm install
npm run debug      

and then use your favorite (web) browser to open http://localhost:8000/.

Note that technically the npm run debug command will use the webpack-dev-server npm package that

• runs node application that in turn launched a vanilla http sever in local (on your desktop)
• launches a watcher (surveying changes in sources)
• in case of change that repacks an updated bundle
• that triggers a client (hot) reload

Pre-requisites

As for any JavaScript application, the central building/running tool is npm (Node Package Manager) whose installation process is OS dependent:

• Ubuntu

  • Installation

    sudo apt-get install npm    ## Will pull NodeJS
    sudo npm install -g n
    sudo n latest

  • References: how can I update Nodejs, and install Ubuntu

• Windows

  • Installing from the installer

  • Installing with the CLI

    iex (new-object net.webclient).downstring(‘https://get.scoop.sh’)
    scoop install nodejs
