Cloning Twitter Website

This is a Twitter clone website, a little project I built to learn front-end development. At first, it was static pages, but now it became interactive.

Getting Started

The project now uses nodeJS, so make sure you have node installed. To install nodeJS:

You can install the requirements automatically running:

• ./install.sh

Basically, the script will do all the following steps and commands for you, but if you prefer to add them manually:

• sudo apt-get install nodejs
• sudo apt-get install npm

If you don't have MongoDB installed:

• [http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu](Follow this link to install it)

If you don't have Bower installed:

• sudo npm install -g bower

If you don't have Grunt installed:

• sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Also, the project uses Sass, so you need to have Ruby installed to use Sass

• sudo apt-get install ruby-full
• sudo gem install sass

After installing all of these, go to the project directory and run:

• npm install
• bower install

To run the server:

• nodejs server.js ( or node server.js) [depends on your installation]
• (in case you want to change it from nodejs to node) sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Now go to:

http://localhost:5000

Voilà!
