## Contributing

It's easy to run the code!

### Clone the project and install the dependencies

```bash
git clone git@github.com:feross/bitmidi.com.git
cd bitmidi.com
npm install
```

### System Dependencies

- [GraphicsMagick](http://www.graphicsmagick.org/index.html)
  - Ubuntu: `sudo apt install graphicsmagick`
  - MacOS: `brew install graphicsmagick`
- `imagemin-webp > cwebp-bin`
  - Ubuntu: `sudo apt install libxi6 libglu1`
  - MacOS: n/a

### Setup Database

First, copy the sample secret file to a new file:

```bash
cp secret/index-sample.js secret/index.js
```

Second, run a local MySQL Server on port 3306 and create a database called `bitmidi.com`.

**Don't forget to change the credentials in `secret/index.js` to match what you
configured!** If you use a different MySQL version than what is specified, then
remember to change that, too. If you're running an older version of MySQL, you
may need to add a `insecureAuth: true` option under `db.connection`.

### Run Database Migrations

Once you complete the database setup, run the migrations:

```bash
npm run knex -- migrate:latest
```

### Mock local MIDI files

To load the site with MIDI files, you need to have a folder with MIDI files in
it. You can get a large collection
[here](https://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/3ajwe4/the_largest_midi_collection_on_the_internet/)
or some smaller ones [here](http://www.jsbach.net/midi/).

Then, in the project root, run this:

```bash
node -r @babel/register tools/import.js <path-to-folder-with-midis>
```

### Run the server

```bash
npm run build
npm start
```

### Watch and restart automatically:

```bash
npm run watch
```
