Getting started with the example

1. Install or update `node.js` so that your `npm` is at least at version `2.0.0`

2. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk.git`

3. Switch to your new checkout: `cd matrix-react-sdk`

4. Build the CSS: `npm install && npm run build:css`

5. Switch to the example: `cd example`

6. Build the javascript & copy the CSS:

`npm install && npm run build && ln -s ../bundle.css ./`

Serve the app from within the `example` directory by running `python -m

SimpleHTTPServer 8000` and access it at

Using the example app for development

To develop using the example app, you can avoid havign to repeat the above

steps each time you change something:

1. Perform all the steps above

2. In the matrix-react-sdk directory: `npm run start:css`

3. Open a new terminal window in the matrix-react-sdk directory:

`cd example; npm start`

Now, development version of your Javascript and CSS will be rebuilt whenever

you change any of the files (although you may need to restart the CSS builder

if you add a new file). Note that the debug CSS and Javascript are much, much

larger than the production versions.
