Installation

Dependencies

Relax uses sharp to resize images. If you're using OS X, you'll need to install its libvips dependency via brew install homebrew/science/vips. Full installation instructions are available here.

You'll also need MongoDB.

How to Relax

Since we are yet to tag our first release, git clone this repository and run npm install followed by npm start.

By default the application runs at port 8080. Go ahead and visit http://localhost:8080/admin/init, here you can setup the first user and you're ready to relax.

Configuration

To configure the application you can use a .relaxrc file. You can place it next to the application, on any parent folder, in your HOME folder, etc.

You can find a sample with the default values here.
