`git clone git@github.com:Samsung/TAU.git`

- Change to the tau directory:

`cd TAU`

- Check out the latest stable version of TAU:

`git checkout master`

### Prerequisites

Example of node install using [`nvm`](https://github.com/creationix/nvm):

```
nvm install 6.16.0
nvm use 6.16.0
```

### Installing

- Install the build module by npm:

`npm install`

Build TAU by running the following command in the tau directory:

`npm run build`

## Running tests using PhantomJS

### all

run:

`npm run test`

### single

run:

`npx grunt test --single_test=path/to/test.html`

## Running tests using Karma

### all
run:

`npm run test:karma`

### single

modify:

`tests/karma/single.conf.path.js`

run:

`npm run test:karma-single-test`

## Debugging

In order to set additional logging in TAU you need to build TAU with --tau-debug option

`npx grunt build --tau-debug`

## Demo application:

UIComponents sample web application demonstrating how to implement UI Components for wearable based on TAU.

Demo application is available on https://samsung.github.io/TAU: 

- https://code.tizen.org/TAU/1.2/examples/mobile/UIComponents/ (Mobile)
- https://code.tizen.org/TAU/1.2/examples/wearable/UIComponents/ (Wearable)

If you want to test your own version of demo app it is available under following paths in repository:

* mobile: `examples\mobile\UIComponents`
* wearable: `examples\wearable\UIComponents`

In order to test it:

- Install http-server in TAU directory

`npm install http-server -g`

- Launch server in TAU directory:

`npx http-server -p <port> -a localhost`

e.g. `npx http-server -p 8888 -a localhost`

- Visit appropriate site:

`http://localhost:PORT/examples/PROFILE/UIComponents/`

e.g.

* http://localhost:8888/examples/wearable/UIComponents/
* http://localhost:8888/examples/mobile/UIComponents/
