1. Install nodejs & npm: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
2. Make sure git is installed on your machine: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

Setup

1. Clone the git repository using the following command

    git clone https://github.com/danielroach9/GRR.git
   

2. Enter the root directory for the project

    ex. cd GRR
   

3. Install the respective node packages using the following command

    npm install
   

4. Change the 'database.config.js' (located in GRR/grr-server/configs/database.config.js) file's database url variable to your respective database

    module.exports = {
    url: '<YOUR_URL_HERE>'
    }
   

5. Change the 'api.config.js' (located in GRR/grr-ui/src/templates/api.config.js) file's url variable to your respective domain

    export const API_URL = '<YOUR_DOMAIN_HERE>';

Xirsys Stun/Turn Servers

Here is a way to setup the application to work with the Stun/Turn servers (Ice Serves aka Signaling Servers).

1. Create an account at https://global.xirsys.net
2. Login - The homescreen should look something like this:
3. Create a channel by clicking typing a name and clicking the plus button
4. Scroll down - The following image should look familiar
5. Take the previous information and plug it into the config.js file:
6. Then in the server.js file, the ice request configs are used to set EasyRTC up with the ice servers:

How To Run the server locally

1. Open a terminal and run the following. Keep it running. This command runs your server on port 8080 and builds the front-end code.

    npm run devstart
   

2. Navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should see your instance of the application running.

Tips

EasyRTC and Aframe took a lot of time to learn. We recommend budgeting some time to familiarizing yourself with these frameworks/toolsets.
