Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed all of the following prerequisites on your development machine:

• Sintel - MTV is the visual interface that requires running sintel as the backend. Please install Sintel first if you want to try the full feature of MTV.
• Node.js (>= 10.0.0) - Download & Install Node.js and the npm package manager. Make sure to install gulp-cli globally after the installation of Node.js.

Get Started

Install

Download the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/sintel-dev/MTV mtv

Once you've downloaded the MTV repository and installed all the prerequisites, you're just a few steps away from running your application. To install the project, create a virtualenv and execute

$ npm install

To avoid version conflicts and dependency issues, we have locked the versions of all packages and their dependencies in package-lock.json. The execution of the npm install command will, by default, install all packages using exactly the same versions specified in the package-lock.json.

Running Your Application

1. Run Sintel as the backend

Please make sure Sintel runs on the port 3000. If not, you can change the config in the file src/model/utils/constants.tsx to ensure that MTV is able to connect to Sintel correctly.

2. Build MTV

$ npm run build

3. Launch it

$ npm run serve

Your application should run on port 4200 with the production environment by default. Just go to http://localhost:4200 in your browser (Chrome recommended).

Development

If you want to make changes on the interface and customize it to your own application scenario, you can run the following command:

$ npm start

Everytime you make changes on the source code, the interface will be automatically refreshed.
