Dependencies

To install desk on your computer, you need:

• git
• node.js
• python to build the API browser or rebuild core qooxdoo code

to visualize 3D data (meshes, volumes) you also need;

• vtk + headers (versions 5 or 6)
• cmake

Installation

git clone http://github.com/valette/desk.git
cd desk
npm install
npm run build

to install binary addons for 3D data visualization (needs vtk and cmake):

npm run buildAddons

Usage

node desk.js

then point your browser to localhost:8080

login as:

• user : your linux username
• password : "password"

Update node packages

git pull
npm install
npm update
npm run build

Build the API browser / update the qooxdoo core

cd client/application
npm install
./generate.py api    // to build the API browser
./generate.py build  // to build the qooxdoo core
./generate.py source // to build the debug version

note that these take a few minutes at first launch. Afterwards, you have access to:

• The API viewer : http://localhost:8080/application/api
• The build version : http://localhost:8080
• The debug version : http://localhost:8080/application/source
