demo (right now only works in Chrome)

Desktop capture

To use screen capture or a browser tab as an input source, you must first install the chrome extension for screensharing, and restart chrome.

To install, go to chrome://extensions/ Click "Load unpacked extension", and select the "extensions" folder in "screen-capture-extension" in this repo. Restart chrome. The extension should work from now on without needing to reinstall.

Running locally

To run locally, you must have nodejs and npm installed. Install from: https://nodejs.org/en/

Download the repository, open terminal, and enter directory

cd LiveLab

install dependencies:

npm install -d

The repo contains a desktop version built using nw.js, and a browser-based version. Some features, such as broadcast and relaying OSC channels, are only available in the desktop version.

Run the browser version:

npm run start-local

To run the desktop version:

npm run start-nw

To develop either version, open a separate command line and type

npm run watch
