Getting Started

Development local API Server

Location of server = /server Server depends on node.js LTS Version: v6.11.2 , npm, and sails.js Please make sure you have these installed before proceeding forward.

Great, you are ready to proceed forward; awesome!

Let's start with running commands in your terminal, known as command line interface (CLI)

Install project dependancies

# npm i

Install Sails.js globally

# npm i sails -g

Start the server

# node server

You should now have access to your API server environment

debug: Environment : development debug: Port : 1337

What do I do from here

1. From the app/ folder, start up a simple HTTP server to serve up the site files on your local computer. Python has some simple tools to do this, and you don't even need to know Python. For most people, it's already installed on your computer.

   In a terminal, check the version of Python you have: python -V. If you have Python 2.x, spin up the server with python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000 (or some other port, if port 8000 is already in use.) For Python 3.x, you can use python3 -m http.server 8000. If you don't have Python installed, navigate to Python's website to download and install the software.

2. With your server running, visit the site: http://localhost:8000, and look around for a bit to see what the current experience looks like.

3. Explore the provided code, and make start making a plan to implement the required features in three areas: responsive design, accessibility and offline use.

4. Write code to implement the updates to get this site on its way to being a mobile-ready website.
