GitHub Install
Tip CityZen requires a fairly recent version of both npm and Node.js. To install both go here:
Get NPM
For reference when these docs were written we were using version 12.18.1 of Node.js and version 6.14.5 of npm
Install using GitHub
The CityZen-Server project page on GitHub: CityZen-Server
There are two different methods to install CityZen from GithHub
The first method is to clone the project. Note you need to have the GIT CLI installed to use this method.
To install CityZen-Server go to the directory you want to use and type:
git clone https://github.com/codeforlansing/cityzen-server.git
Then go to the directory you chose and type:
npm install
To launch the server type:
npm start
The CityZen-Client page on Github: CityZen-Client
Here are directions to install the CityZen-Client from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/codeforlansing/cityzen-client-vue.git
Then go to the directory you chose and type:
npm install
To start the client once it is successfully installed type and you're in the client directory:
npm start serve
The second method for installing is to download the zip files for both server and client. To do that on the respective GitHub repository sites, hit the green clone or download button and choose download and then download zip
