Prerequisite Softwares

Running the Project

In order to run the app on your machines, please follow the below given steps:

1. Clone the Repo using the URL - https://github.com/mappmechanic/realtime-analytics

 git clone https://github.com/mappmechanic/realtime-analytics.git

2. Run either of the following commands to install dependencies

 npm install

OR

 yarn

3. Signup at https://pusher.com/signup.

4. Create a new app to obtain the API Key, secret & appId. Also, I have chosen the cluster 'ap2 (Mumbai, India), but you will be required to choose a cluster specific to your app users.

Replace the respective key, secret & appId for pusher initialisation in server.js file with your values:

    var pusher = new Pusher({
    appId: '<your-app-id>',
    key: '<your-api-key>',
    secret: '<your-app-secret>',
    encrypted: true
    });

5. Finally you will have to also replace your app-key in app.js file too:

 ...
 pusher = new Pusher('<your-api-key>', {
    authEndpoint: '/usersystem/auth',
    encrypted: true
 }),
 ...

6. Now we are ready to run our app using the following node commands

node server

7. We will be able to access the app at http://localhost:9000
