Start EVT

Before starting EVT check if you have a data folder inside app where to put you XML file(s); otherwise create it. Then check if in the app/config/config.json the property dataUrl is pointing to your edition file. If you need, you can also change some of the other configuration parameters. If you need information about the configuration file, please check the README.md within the app folder, or use the beta EVT2-Config-Generator(http://evt.labcd.unipi.it/evt2-config/) to set your preferences and download a ready to use JSON file.

To start EVT use grunt

grunt dev

Generate EVT Development Documentation

grunt docs

This will create a devDocs folder. Open the index.html inside this folder in a browser that allows Cross origin requests (e.g. Firefox) and navigate the documentation.

Troubleshooting

IN CASE OF CSS COMPILATION ERRORS

sudo gem install rubygems-update
sudo update_rubygems
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install compass susy

IN CASE OF VISUALIZATION PROBLEMS

grunt dev --force

EVERY TIME YOU INSTALL A NEW PACKAGE:

Stop grunt dev (CTRL+C) then:

bower install
grunt dev

EVERY TIME YOU CHECKOUT TO A DIFFERENT BRANCH:

Stop grunt dev (CTRL+C) then:

npm install
bower install
grunt dev

Build a new EVT release

grunt build

This will create a build folder containing the built package. Add a data folder with the XML files you need and open the index.html file to see your digital edition. NB: in this case, in order to make EVT work properly in a local environment, you need to use a browser that allows Cross origin requests (e.g. Firefox).
