Windows Installation

We currently don't support local installation of Augur for Windows. However, we do provide a Vagrant box which can be used to spin up an Ubuntu VM with Augur pre-installed.

Dependencies

  1. Clone the repository and start the VM.
# on your local machine

# using your Git client: 
git clone https://github.com/chaoss/augur.git

# using Command Prompt
cd augur
vagrant up # this might take a while
vagrant ssh

Note: you'll probably see a fair bit of errors during this provisioning process. Don't worry about them, most of them are harmless. Probably.

  1. Log in as root and navigate to /vagrant/augur. This folder is synced with your local clone of augur, meaning you'll be able to use your preferred local editor and just use the VM to run augur.
# inside the vagrant VM
sudo su -
cd /vagrant/augur

# due to vagrant weirdness, we have to manually install the python packages. This might take a while
$AUGUR_PIP install --upgrade .

  1. Add your GitHub API key to the augur.config.json file under the section GitHub.

  2. Start both the backend and frontend servers with make dev.

make dev
  1. When you're done working in the VM, type exit twice: once to log out of root, and another to log out of the VM. Don't forget to shut down the VM with vagrant halt.

If you're interested in adding a new plugin, data source, or metric, check out the backend development guide. If new visualizations are more your speed, you'll want the [frontend development guide](http://augur.augurlabs.io/static/docs/dev-guide/4-frontend.html\).

TL;DR

# on your local machine

# using your Git client: 
git clone https://github.com/chaoss/augur.git

# using Command Prompt
cd augur
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

# inside the vagrant VM
sudo su -
cd /vagrant/augur

# due to vagrant weirdness, we have to manually install the python packages
$AUGUR_PIP install --upgrade .

# add your GitHub personal access token to augur.config.json

# start the frontend and backend servers
make dev
# full steam ahead!
