Installing Dependencies

First, ensure that Docker is installed on your machine. As per Docker.io's Mac OS X installation instructions:

• Download the latest release of the Docker for OS X Installer.
• Run the installer, which will install VirtualBox and the Boot2Docker management tool.
• Initialize Boot2Docker, then start Docker manually and export the DOCKER_HOST environment variable with the following commands:
  • boot2docker init
  • boot2docker start
  • export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null):2375

Starting the App

To start the app, run the following command from the project's root:

. start.sh

The script will start Docker using boot2docker, stop any already-running Docker containers, start Mongo (More Info), then finally start the Node app (More info).
