TapVote Team repository

###Setup

Clone this repository:

$ git clone [email protected]:LutherSrProject/TapVote.git

Install dependencies:

$ cd TapVote
$ (sudo) npm install

Install the database server (all instructions aimed at Ubuntu. Installing PostgreSQL will differ by operating system):

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql

Connect to the newly installed Postgres server using the default postgres database. We will set a password and create the development and test databases. When prompted for a new password, use wearetapvote.

$ sudo -u postgres psql postgres
# \password postgres
# create database tapvote;
# create database tapvotetest;
<Ctrl>-D

Install pgTap:

$ sudo apt-get install pgtap

Now set up the schema for the development database (run this command from the TapVote repository directory):

$ node_modules/.bin/db-migrate up

(Note that the schema for the unit-testing database (tapvotetest) will be created as needed by the unit test suite.)

If everything worked, you should be able to start the server by running:

$ nodejs index.js

Browse to http://localhost:8000 to start using TapVote!
