Backbone.js project configuration












-2















Below was the instructions that I got at start of a course:



Setup
clone the Backbone project

run bower install
clone the backend server
launch the binary

point the --www flag to the root of the Backbone project

launch the project at http://localhost:8000



So I installed bower using npm install -g bower command
then I used git clone url to clone the above listed github project and server. I am not sure what to do with launch the binary and --www flag to the root of backbone project. What does it mean and how to do..?
In case of binary I traversed to binary folder of server an ran a file



So how to do the next part --www flag to the root of backbone project?

          If you read the instructions properly,



          launch the binary

          point the --www flag to the root of the Backbone project



          is a single step. You need to launch the binary with a --www flag from terminal (Mac, Linux) or Command prompt in windows.



          Let's say you cloned that frontend project to backbone-front folder, and the backend project to a sibling folder named backbone-back



          In windows you should be able to execute ./server_windows_amd64.exe --www ../../backbone-front from the backbone-back/binaries folder via Command prompt.

            @SachinDivakar You can just drag and drop the exe into command prompt and press enter, it'll execute it. This one seems to try to create some backing directory so you need to open command prompt as administrator. All that said, you don't really need a server and stuff to learn backbone. You can just use .json files as data source for a start. Try following addyosmani.com/backbone-fundamentals. If you need to serve your app from a static http server, use abode brackets ide, it's free and it has a live preview option where you can serve .html file via node server

          to any one starting out to code just now seeking help like me, in the binary files there are 3 files, each file is for a different oparting system (the .exe is for windows), if you cloned the project the windows version seems to be 0kb, you will need to go and re downaload it directly from the repository, then run the command with an .exe in the file name, good luck! ^^



          server_windows_amd64.exe --www=../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone
          using the cmd from the binary location
          also make sure you not only installed bower on the computor but went into the backbone folder and excuted bower install to install the bower.json files

            I will take you through the entirety of installing the app on Windows. I just did it, and these instructions work.
            If you don't already have node or bower installed, Google "bower install on windows". The first page has the correct instructions. For clarification, the page's title is "How to install NodeJS, Bower, and Grunt..."



            After that, you'll want to clone both the front end and the back end of the project.
            For the front end, follow these instructions here:
            https://github.com/udacity/FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone
            For the back end, follow these instructions:
            https://github.com/udacity/FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server
            @T J is correct. You'll want to be in ../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server/binaries when you run ./server_windows.amd64.exe



            If you followed the above instructions correctly, then you should be able to launch the application at localhost:8000, which will give you a 404 page not found error. This is normal, because you haven't done anything yet.

              This is the correct line to run from the binaries folder:



              server_windows_amd64.exe --www ../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone


              Then navigate to localhost:8000 and you will see the app.

                To --www flag to the root of your project you need to first determine what OS you are running on - you will need to determine which binary file to run from the binary folder. If you're on Mac OS maybe you would start your code with server_darwin_amd64. I am running on a Windows OS, so I would use server_windows_amd64.exe.



                Next, correctly writing the whereabouts (directory) of your front-folder, where all the html, css and js are. i.e. FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone. I would imperatively use the equal sign here =. Here is where I would write: --www=../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone to open to the frontend folder.



                In my bash terminal, when I cd into FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server/binaries, I may run the program with the following code: ./server_windows_amd64.exe --www=../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone.



                Lastly, you may find your site via http://localhost:8000



                NB: My frontend and backend folder are separated.



                Hopefully that helps, or gives you an idea on how to open up your program. :D

                  • @SachinDivakar you might be trying to execute it from the wrong directory. See superuser.com/questions/876933/running-exe-in-command-prompt. You need to provide your folder structures, a screenshot of error etc to give you additional info.

                    @SachinDivakar You can just drag and drop the exe into command prompt and press enter, it'll execute it. This one seems to try to create some backing directory so you need to open command prompt as administrator. All that said, you don't really need a server and stuff to learn backbone. You can just use .json files as data source for a start. Try following addyosmani.com/backbone-fundamentals. If you need to serve your app from a static http server, use abode brackets ide, it's free and it has a live preview option where you can serve .html file via node server

                  to any one starting out to code just now seeking help like me, in the binary files there are 3 files, each file is for a different oparting system (the .exe is for windows), if you cloned the project the windows version seems to be 0kb, you will need to go and re downaload it directly from the repository, then run the command with an .exe in the file name, good luck! ^^

                          I will take you through the entirety of installing the app on Windows. I just did it, and these instructions work.
                          If you don't already have node or bower installed, Google "bower install on windows". The first page has the correct instructions. For clarification, the page's title is "How to install NodeJS, Bower, and Grunt..."



                          After that, you'll want to clone both the front end and the back end of the project.
                          For the front end, follow these instructions here:
                          https://github.com/udacity/FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone
                          For the back end, follow these instructions:
                          https://github.com/udacity/FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server
                          @T J is correct. You'll want to be in ../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server/binaries when you run ./server_windows.amd64.exe



                          If you followed the above instructions correctly, then you should be able to launch the application at localhost:8000, which will give you a 404 page not found error. This is normal, because you haven't done anything yet.

                                          To --www flag to the root of your project you need to first determine what OS you are running on - you will need to determine which binary file to run from the binary folder. If you're on Mac OS maybe you would start your code with server_darwin_amd64. I am running on a Windows OS, so I would use server_windows_amd64.exe.



                                          Next, correctly writing the whereabouts (directory) of your front-folder, where all the html, css and js are. i.e. FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone. I would imperatively use the equal sign here =. Here is where I would write: --www=../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone to open to the frontend folder.



                                          In my bash terminal, when I cd into FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone-Server/binaries, I may run the program with the following code: ./server_windows_amd64.exe --www=../../FEF-UdaciMeals-Backbone.



                                          Lastly, you may find your site via http://localhost:8000



                                          NB: My frontend and backend folder are separated.



                                          Hopefully that helps, or gives you an idea on how to open up your program. :D
