##Dependencies

• NodeJS
• MongoDB: The project is configured to start Mongo from C:\mongodb. If it is installed eslewhere, then set the proper path for config.db.path in "package.json".

##Config There are two places with configuration values stored:

• config entry in "package.json": it stores the values shared between modules
  • accessible in the back-end scripts using config = require('helpers/config') (eg., var port = config.web.port;)
  • accessible in the front-end scripts using injection of the form [[[NAME]]] (eg., var port = [[[web.port]]];)
• the files in config/ folder contain module, app or tool -dependent config files:
  • mongodb.cfg: Mongo configuration
  • shim.js: browserify shim configuration (not used in the current version)
