Hi everyone!

This is a standalone server for the javascript tutorial https://javascript.info.

1. Install Git and Node.JS.

   These are required to update and run the project.

   (Optional) If you're going to change images, please install GraphicsMagick.

   For non-Windows OS use standard install tools (packages or whatever convenient).

2. Create the root folder.

   Create a folder /js for the project. You can use any other directory as well, just adjust the paths below.

3. Clone the tutorial server into it:

   cd /js
   git clone https://github.com/iliakan/javascript-tutorial-server
   

4. Clone the tutorial text into it.

   The text repository has "-language" at the end, e.g:

   cd /js
   git clone https://github.com/iliakan/javascript-tutorial-ru
   

5. Install global modules:

   npm install -g bunyan gulp
   

6. Run the site

   Run the site with the language:

   cd /js/javascript-tutorial-server
   ./edit en
   

   Wait for a couple of seconds as it reads the tutorial from disk and builds static assets.

   Then access the site at http://127.0.0.1:3000.

7. Edit the tutorial

   The files are editable in the tutorial text folder (step 4). As you edit text files, the webpage gets reloaded automatically, so it's handy to split the screen at two sides: put the browser onn the left 50% and edit in the right 50%%.

If something doesn't work -- file an issue.
