(In case you don't have Node.js installed already) Go to https://nodejs.org/en/, download and install Node.js (version 12.X, LTS version)
(In case you don't have Git installed already) Go to https://git-scm.com/, download and install Git (the newest version available). In the installer, use all the default options by just pressing Next for each step.
- Open the "PowerShell" program in Windows
- Go to your Documents folder:
cd ~/Documents - Clone the SlideWiki repository using Git:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/slidewiki/slidewiki-platform.git - Go to the just created folder:
cd slidewiki-platform - Install the packages by running:
npm install(this could take some time and it is normal if warnings are displayed during this process) - Create the config file:
cp ./configs/microservices.sample.js ./configs/microservices.js
- Ensure you are in the SlideWiki directory (if you just followed the installation instructions, you already are in the right directory. Otherwise:
cd ~/Documents/slidewiki-platform) - Now run
npm run dev(in case you get a message from Windows Defender, click Allow access) - You should be possible to visit SlideWiki at http://localhost:3000
If you followed the installation instructions from above, you are running the master branch. In order to switch branches:
- Ensure you are in the slidewiki-platform directory:
cd ~/Documents/slidewiki-platform - Checkout a branch name:
git checkout BRANCH_NAME. Replace BRANCH_NAME with the name of the branch you want to test - Sometimes it is necessary to run
npm installagain (because packages could have changes for a specific branch). Running this command won't break anything, so it is best to always run it after changing a branch!
It is possible to switch back to the master branch again by running: git checkout master
