Current status

Scientilla is currently in development and not ready to be used in production.

Try it out:

At the moment you need to build Scientilla by yourself.

1. The first step is to download Scientilla. You can do that just by using git:

   git clone https://github.com/scientilla/scientilla.git scientilla
   

2. Then you have to surf to the scientilla folder

   cd scientilla
   

3. The next step is to configure the application:

   cp config/scientilla.js.example config/scientilla.js
   cp config/connections.js config/local.js
   sed -i 's/safe/alter/g' config/models.js
   

   And edit the config/scientilla.js and config/local.js files with your system settings.

4. The next step is to install the dependencies of Scientilla.

   This can be performed in 2 ways:

   1. By using docker (suggested):

      ./bin/npm install
      ./bin/bower install
      cp docker-compose-develop.yml docker-compose.yml
      docker-compose up
      

   2. By installing all the dependencies manually (Ubuntu 16.04):

      sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-gnutls-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev
      sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.5
      

      Here you have to create the user and database for Scientilla.

      curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
      sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
      rm nodesource_setup.sh
      sudo apt-get install nodejs
      sudo npm install pm2 -g
      sudo npm install bower -g
      npm install && bower install
      

      (These depedencies can be easily installed also on other Operating Systems)

5. The last step is to run Scientilla:

   pm2 start app.js -x -- --prod
   

6. Now you can access Scientilla by browsing to the Scientilla Url.

   If you installed Scientilla locally the URL will be:

   127.0.0.1:1337
   

   If you find any problem while performing these procedures please open up a new issue and let us know.
