The Texada web-server depends on (1) node.js and (2) Go lang. Here are the steps for installing these dependencies on Ubuntu (tested with Ubuntu 12.04.5).

Install node.js:

Node.JS is needed to install further dependencies for the web application like Bower, Protractor, Jasmine, etc. It can be installed using apt-get on Linux systems. A detailed step-by-step guide is given below:

1. sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
2. sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make software-properties-common
3. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get install nodejs

Install Go lang:

Go lang is needed to run the web server that hosts the web version of Texada. It can be installed using apt-get on Linux systems. A detailed step-by-step guide is given below:

1. sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make software-properties-common
2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gophers/go
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install golang

1. cd {TEXADA_HOME}/www/client
2. sudo npm install
3. cd app
4. ../node_modules/bower/bin/bower install

1. Deploy updated files (or updated version of the codebase)
2. cd {TEXADA_HOME}/www/client
3. sudo npm install
4. cd app
5. ../node_modules/bower/bin/bower install

1. cd {TEXADA_HOME}/www
2. go run server.go {TEXADA_HOME}/texada {PORT}

Once the server is up and running, it can be accessed using a web browser. The default front-end URL is - http://localhost:{PORT}/texada

Dependency: Install Sellenium web server (this is needed to run end-to-end tests)

1. cd {TEXADA_HOME}/www/client
2. node_modules/protractor/bin/webdriver-manager update --stand-alone

Run:

1. Run the server at port 8080 using the steps shown above and then open up the Terminal
2. cd {TEXADA_HOME}/www/client/e2e-tests
3. ../node_modules/protractor/bin/protractor

1. cd {TEXADA_HOME/www/client}
2. npm test
