aldo

Collecting faces for fun and profit!

This Project is abandoned!

Aldo is the development base for a new yet-to-be named project by valo.media UG (haftungsbeschränkt), whose purpose is to aid media agencies with the management of their pages and advertising campaigns on Facebook.

Project status

Aldo is pre-alpha software. You will encounter build failures and breaking changes. Do not use this software in a production environment.

Setup instructions

Set up a Linux build server. These instructions are for Ubuntu, but they should work in a similar fashion for all unix systems. This guide assumes you have at least ubuntu-standard and build-essential installed.

1. Install node.
2. Make sure you installed node correctly:
   • Running $ node -v should display v4.0.0 or greater.
   • Running $ npm -v should display version 3.0.0 or greater.
3. Create a directory to run Aldo from and change into it by running $ mkdir -p /srv/www && cd /srv/www.
4. Download aldo and change to its directory by running $ git clone https://github.com/valomedia/aldo && cd aldo.
5. Install npm packages and run Aldo by running $ npm install && npm start.
6. To quit Aldo hit ^c.

When Aldo is running a browser should automatically open and display the user interface. If you are running Aldo on a headless server, point your browser to :3000 to see the interface. Please remember, that this software is not ready for production.

There are serveral ways to run Aldo, depending on what you want to do with it.

• $ npm run lint will run a TypeScript linter against the code base.
• $ npm run compile will compile Aldo.
• $ npm run compile:w will compile Aldo and automatically recompile when the code has changed.
• $ npm run sass will render the stylesheets for Aldo.
• $ npm run sass:w will render the stylesheets for Aldo and automatically rerender them when the style is changed.
• $ npm run build will build Aldo.
• $ npm run build:w will build Aldo and automatically rebuild when anything gets changed.
• $ npm run serve will run the server, allowing you to use a version of Aldo you previously compiled.
• $ npm start will compile Aldo and run the server, automatically rebuilding and restarting when you make changes. It is recommended to use this setting for development work.
