Express Example

To start out make sure you've got node installed. An easy way to do this is to install NVM (Node Version Manager). This will make installing node easy peasy.

curl https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh
or
wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh

You will probably have to start a new terminal window since this modifies your bashrc file.

nvm install v0.8.9

This will automatically download and compile that version of node.

Once its installed lets clone this repo we're in. (Or pull in that folder if you've already got it)
git clone [email protected]:SyntaxSimian/JadeNodejsDemo.git

Now we need to install the node modules this project requires, since I've setup a package.json file this is really simple.
npm install

This automatically installs the requirements for the project.

Next we're going to try running the project, this can be done by running node app.js unless you are on a system that blocks access to port 80, in that case use sudo.

The server should now be running, all you need to do is hit this box on a web browser and you can see the example pages. These are:

• / (home)
• /json (json example)
• /auth (authentication, use test:test)
• /anythingElse (404 example)
