• TypeScript to build the client-side code (tested with version 0.9.0.1)
• Mercurial to fetch Go dependencies
• Go to build the server-side code (tested with version 1.0.3)
• CouchDB to run the database server (tested with version 1.4.0)
• Nginx to run the Web server (only required for deployment; tested with version 1.4.1)

Homebrew is a nice package manager that you can use to install most dependencies.

• Install prerequisites:

  $ brew install npm go mercurial
  $ npm install -g [email protected]
  

  To run CouchDB, use the CouchDBX application. You could install CouchDB via Homebrew. But, that requires building Erlang, which takes a long time.

• Fetch code and build:

    $ git clone https://github.com/plasma-umass/Apply2.git
    $ cd Apply2
    $ make
  

• Create and run a sample department:

    $ ./apply2 newdept sample
    $ ./apply2 newreviewer scooby redbull64 "Scooby Doo"
    $ ./apply2 testserver
