How to install the Open Event Web App Generator on my local machine

Deploying Locally

First install the dependencies.

npm install or npm install bcrypt

if you get an error, then fix npm permissions globally. Then restart from step 1. refer this:"https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions"

Sometimes it may give an error of fetch failed then type

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

and then restart the terminal and start from step 1

Run the app

npm run start

or

npm run server.generator

The app will be running on http://localhost:5000

Note : If you are running the app behind a proxy, set the proxy option in config.json to http://username:password@proxy_url:proxy_port, and make sure it is url encoded.

Requirements

Component Name/Flavour Minimum Version
OS Mac/Windows/Linux Any
Node.js v4.0 (or above)
Browser Firefox/Chrome/Safari 21+/11+/9+

Note: Computers running on Windows OS may encounter problems when installing the Webapp Generator on local machines. As Windows does not come bundled with a C++ compiler, which is needed in NodeJS, the command prompt may throw up a error which states that node-gyp rebuild fails on your system. Hence it is advised a further prerequisite (for Windows users) is to download Visual Studio Community 2015 which contains a C++ compiler (link is https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/).

Note: If you are using Windows OS and getting errors like gyp ERR! configure error or gyp ERR! stack Error: Can't find Python executable "python" then you can now install all node-gyp dependencies with these commands: (Run As Admin in Windows PowerShell)

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

and then install the package

npm install --global node-gyp
