If you have a $JIRI_ROOT setup you can install Node.js from $JIRI_ROOT/third_party by running:
jiri profile install nodejs
Optionally, it is possible to use your own install of Node.js if you would like to use a more recent version.
The Makefile is setup to handle all dependencies once Node.js is installed. The default make task will install any modules listed in the package.json and build a browser bundle from browser/index.js via browserify.
make
It is possible to have the build happen automatically anytime a JavaScript file changes using the watch tool:
watch make
To run a local dev server use:
make start
If you would like to change the host and or port that is used:
make start port=<port> host=<host>
Run syncbase with:
make syncbase
Run the syncbase instance which hosts the syncgroup:
make cloudsync
This will run a syncbased instance that will mount as “users//reader/cloudsync” and host the syncgroup. In order for peers to sync an instance of this needs to be running somewhere.
To run a new syncbase peer and corresponding application use variables to change the startup settings:
syncbase_port=8888 id=`./bin/cuid` make syncbase
This will generate a new client id and start a new syncbased instance on a different port. The generated id can be grabbed from the standard out and will look something like this “cif7en1kb00007uigyohv58tx”. Once you have the id you can open a new browser window and use the id in a query param to initialize the application to connect as that peer.

This will automatically have you set up credentials etc. If you want to remove stored data & credentials use:
make clean
