Hi everyone!

This is a standalone server for the javascript tutorial https://javascript.info.

You can use it to run the tutorial locally and translate it into your language.

If you have an old copy of the English tutorial, please rename 1-js/05-data-types/09-destructuring-assignment/1-destructuring-assignment to 1-js/05-data-types/09-destructuring-assignment/1-destruct-user.

1. Install Git and Node.JS.

   These are required to update and run the project. For non-Windows OS use standard install tools (packages or whatever convenient).

   (Maybe later, optional) If you're going to change images, please install GraphicsMagick.

2. Install global Node modules:

   npm install -g bunyan gulp
   

3. Create the root folder.

   Create a folder /js for the project. You can use any other directory as well, just adjust the paths below.

4. Clone the tutorial server into it:

   cd /js
   git clone https://github.com/iliakan/javascript-tutorial-server
   

5. Clone the tutorial text into it.

   The text repository has -language at the end, e.g ru:

   cd /js
   git clone https://github.com/iliakan/javascript-tutorial-ru
   

6. Run the site

   Run the site with the language:

   cd /js/javascript-tutorial-server
   ./edit ru
   

   Please note that the argument of edit is exactly the language you cloned at step 5.

   Wait a bit as it reads the tutorial from disk and builds static assets.

   Then access the site at http://127.0.0.1:3000.

7. Edit the tutorial

   As you edit text files in the tutorial text repository (cloned at step 5), the webpage gets reloaded automatically.

If something doesn't work – file an issue.
