Ensure that you have the following installed on your system:

1. NodeJS

2. Git

3. Any IDE or code editor (AtomIDE recommended)

4. Any Bash interpreter (Git Bash recommended)

1. Clone this repo to your working directory, you can use the download ZIP option or just run $ git clone https://github.com/SHSGames/SHSGames in your CWD.

2. Open the folder named SHSGames

3. Install modules using npm $ npm install (this has the potential to take a while on dated hardware or slow internet connections)

4. After all the modules are installed, open your IDE or editor in the SHSGames folder.

5. Start the development server using $ npm run dev (this can also be slow on dated hardware)

6. Navigate to http://localhost:8080/

7. Begin developing and happy hacking!

1. After you verified that the development build works, use $ npm run build to build SHSGames into a production ready bundle (also slow on old hardware). The production version is located in the /dist folder.

2. After the build succeeded, use $ npm run serve to launch the production instance of SHSGames.

3. The production build is served on http://localhost/.

4. Production versions not served from http://localhost/ will redirect to HTTPS so it is required for professional production environments.

5. Production builds have an aggressive caching algorithm. Even if the server is shut down, it will display SHSGames. You can use the Clear cache option in the settings menu and disable service workers to prevent this.
