Get Involved!

Please use the GitHub Issues to log any ideas you have to improve the site, or problems you may come across.

Or if you're feeling more adventurous, go pick an issue and submit a pull request.

Feel free to ask questions about how it works, if you're getting into the code.

Getting Started

To run the nexstartup site locally, there are a few things to set up.

Because we have some private keys for our MongoDB, Cloudinary and Mandrill accounts, you'll need to set up your own equivalents before the site will run properly.

If you're looking to work on the nexstartup site and want access to our accounts, please get in touch

Install Node.js and MongoDB

You'll need node 0.10.x and npm 1.3.x installed to run nexstartup. The easiest way is to download the installers from nodejs.org.

You'll also need MongoDB 2.4.x - if you're on a Mac, the easiest way is to install homebrew and then run brew install mongo.

If you're on a Mac you'll also need Xcode and the Command Line Tools installed or the build process won't work.

Setting up your copy of nexstartup

Get a local copy of the site by cloning this repository, or fork it to work on your own copy.

Then run npm install to download the dependencies.

Before you continue, create a file called .env in the root folder of the project (this will be ignored by git). This file is used to emulate the environment config of our production server, in development. Any key=value settings you put in there (one on each line) will be set as environment variables in process.env.

The only line you need to add to your .env file is a valid CLOUDINARY_URL. To get one of these, sign up for a free account at Cloudinary and paste the environment variable if gives you into your .env file. It should look something like this:

CLOUDINARY_URL=cloudinary://12345:abcde@cloudname

Running nexstartup

Once you've set up your configuration, run node keystone to start the server.

By default, Keystone will connect to a new local MongoDB database on your localhost called nexstartup, and create a new Admin user that you can use to log in with using the email address [email protected] and the password admin.

If you want to run against a different server or database, add a line to your .env file to set the MONGO_URI environment variable, and restart the site.

When it's all up and running, you should see the message nexstartup is ready on port 3000 and you'll be able to browse the site on localhost:3000.
