Getting started

To run and build the proxy, you need to be able to build node_mdns. this is fairly tricky. The node_mdns repo has detailed instructions. This is the step by step.

Windows:

• download and install the bonjour sdk from here (requires login)
• clone this repo (so you have the code, of course)
• open cmd and cd to the location of the cloned repo
• make sure you have some version of visual studio and python installed. (see node-gyp requirements)
• set BONJOUR_SDK_HOME environment variable to the location that you installed the bonjour sdk. (for me, this looked like set BONJOUR_SDK_HOME=C:\Program Files\Bonjour SDK\)
• run npm install
• done! run npm start to start the proxy

Mac: Todo?
