Setup
-----
pa11y-dashboard requires [Node.js][node] 0.10+ and [pa11y-webservice][pa11y-webservice] to be installed and running. You'll need to follow the setup guide for pa11y-webservice before setting up pa11y-dashboard.
You'll then need to clone this repo locally and install dependencies with `make deps`, this installs npm and bower dependencies. Once you have a local clone, you'll need to copy some sample configuration files in order to run the application. From within the repo, run the following commands:
```sh
$ cp config/development.sample.json config/development.json
$ cp config/production.sample.json config/production.json
```
Each of these files defines configurations for a different environment. If you're just running the application locally, then you should be OK with just development configurations. The [available configurations are documented here](#configurations).
Now that you've got your application configured, you can run in each mode with the following commands:
```sh
$ make start # start in production mode
$ make start-dev # start in development mode
```
Development mode runs the application with [Supervisor][supervisor], so you won't need to restart it if you change any JavaScript files.
