Running FilterLab Locally
-----

### Git Submodules

The CodeMirror library is linked as a git submodule.
After you clone the project on your machine you'll need to setup the submodules and pull in their code.

<pre>
cd ./path/to/css/filterlab/
$ git submodule update --init
</pre>

### Build

CSS FilterLab uses [Grunt.js](http://gruntjs.com/) to concatenate and minify JavaScript & CSS resources. [Grunt.js](http://gruntjs.com/) is build on nodejs, so if you don't have it already installed, go to [node.js website](http://nodejs.org/) and follow the instructions to install it. After that use the command line node package manager to install grunt.js:

<pre>
$ sudo npm install -g grunt
</pre>

The grunt.js project file uses other node.js modules. To quicly install all the required libraries run "npm install" in the project folder.

<pre>
cd ./path/to/css/filterlab/
$ sudo npm install
</pre>

You also need to make sure you have Ruby & Sass installed.  If you're on OS X or Linux you probably already have them installed.  Try <code>ruby -v</code> in your terminal.  When you've confirmed you have Ruby installed, run <code>sudo gem install sass</code> to get Sass.

To build CSS FilterLab, you need to run the "grunt" command line tool in the project folder. This will generate the "dist/" folder.

<pre>
cd ./path/to/css/filterlab/
$ grunt
</pre>

### File System Access

CSS FilterLab requires XHR access, but that doesn't work very well when loaded from file:// URLs. For that reason running CSS FilterLab requires serving it from a server. The easiest way to do that on a Mac would be to use python's simple server:

<pre>
cd [./path/to/css/filterlab]/dist/
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
</pre>

Open [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) in your browser.
