Installation

For global installation (may need root)

npm i -g ethercalc
ethercalc

For local non-root installation

npm i
make

Or install with our Docker image, which comes with support for webworker-threads:

# Run a redis Docker using the official redis Docker image with persistant database in <host-directory>
sudo docker run --name redis -d -v <host-directory>:/data redis:latest redis-server --appendonly yes

# Run ethercalc on default port 8000
sudo docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --link redis:redis audreyt/ethercalc

# Run ethercalc on custom port 80
sudo docker run -d -p 80:8000 --link redis:redis audreyt/ethercalc

Send email - Optional - Send email formulas requires OAuth2 & cron e.g. =email(to, subject, body), =emailAt(time, to, subject, body)

OAuth2 - Set environment vars 
1) Tutorial: follow the tutorial to get the 4 environment vars http://masashi-k.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/sending-mail-with-gmail-using-xoauth2.html 
2) Set 4 environment vars - see [src/emailer.ls](src/emailer.ls) vars: user, clientId, clientSecret, refreshToken
Tested using gmail, have not tested with other providors

Cron - Required for emailAt formulas.
See *curl* in [.openshift/cron/minutely/timetrigger](.openshift/cron/minutely/timetrigger) for openshift version (openshift](openshift.redhat.com) 
The curl checks the database for unsent emails and updates the database after sending. 

REST API

Please see API.md for the API Blueprint, or the online version at Apiary.
