# OpenDC Front End
## Initial setup
We use the NPM package repository to manage our third-party dependencies on the frontend. To fetch and install these dependencies, you'll need to have the [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) environment installed.
For easier fetching, we recommend the [Yarn Package Manager](https://yarnpkg.com), but the standard NPM tool will suffice, too. You can get your build setup installed by executing the following two commands:
$ npm install -g yarn
$ npm install -g gulp
You may need to prepend these commands with `sudo`, if you are on a Debian-based Linux machine. If you're having trouble giving NPM the necessary permissions on such a machine, have a look at [this NPM documentation page](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions).
## Building the project
Run the following commands from this directory to fetch dependencies and compile the code of the frontend side:
```
$ yarn
$ gulp --config=config.json
```
**Note:** You need to replace `config.json` with the name / path of a real config file. This config file can be created by making a copy of the `sample_config.json` template and replacing the entries with your setup data. Make sure not to check this new config file into the VCS, as it is unique to each deployment situation.
