A campaign and character management tool for the Pathfinder RPG

Fatbard requires the following software packages to run...
...for the web:

• NodeJS
• Grunt/Grunt-CLI

...for the backend:

• Ruby
• Rack
• Sinatra

1. Unless you have previously installed them, install NodeJS and Grunt/Grunt-CLI.

   • It would be prudent to follow the instructions located at those pages, but it might be as simple as:
     sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm install -g grunt grunt-cli

   Some *nix environments do not install npm automatically with nodejs in certain situations.
   Issue npm -v to verify your system has npm installed.

2. For most environments, you will need to run npm install in the root directory.

   If you are running in an environment which is referencing a shared Windows directory (for example, a *nix guest editing files in a Windows host), you will need to run npm install --no-bin-links instead.

3. a. After you have successfully installed all necessary node modules, issue grunt setup to prepare your working structure.
   b. In every future situation, you may simply run grunt to build, compile, and watch all the pertinent files.

1. Install Ruby 2.1.1.

   • This can easily be done with RVM using the following commands: sudo apt-get install ruby-rvm

   This install process may vary based on your Operating System

   rvm install 2.1.1
rvm use 2.1

   • Now check your Ruby version with ruby -v

2. Install the Bundler gem using gem install bundler

   • Navigate to the project root and install run bundle install to install the required Gems

3. Install MongoDB and run the following commands:

   mkdir -p /data/db to make the /data/db directory

   • Make sure to set the permissions of the /data/db directory so that your user has read and write permisssions.

   • Now run mongod

4. Start the Rack server

   • Navigate to the project root and run the following command: bundle exec rackup -p 4567
