Geometry Zen is an online application for learning and researching Physics and Engineering using Geometric Algebra with programming and WebGL.
Geometry Zen consists of a Single Page Application (SPA) served up by a companion Node.JS server. The purpose of the server is to provide some extra flexibility over a CDN solution, circumvent CORS issues and overcome some security challenges.
You will need to have Node, Lineman and Bower installed.
$ git clone git://github.com/geometryzen/geometryzen.git
$ cd geometryzen
$ npm install
$ bower update
- Copy config.example.json to config.local.json
$ cp config.example.json config.local.json
- Adjust config.local.json
{
"HOST": "localhost",
"PORT": 8080,
"GITHUB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID": "???",
"GITHUB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_SECRET": "???",
"GITHUB_HOST": "github.com",
"GITHUB_PORT": 443,
"GITHUB_PATH": "/login/oauth/access_token",
"GITHUB_METHOD": "POST"
}
You can also set environment variables to override the settings if you don't want Git to track your adjusted config.json file. Just use UPPER_CASE keys.
The purpose of running Lineman is to watch and rebuild the server.
$ lineman clean
$ lineman build
$ lineman run --force
At this point, Lineman is actually running a server on port 8000, but we use a Node.JS server.
In a new terminal window,
$ npm start
Open your web browser to localhost:8080. GeometryZen should now be running.
