Build Status:

This is the server component of Engineering Capstone Spring 2017 Group W2 at Northeastern University. Our project was to prototype a game and associated server to collect speech and physical therapy data from Cerebral Palsy patients.

This section contains everything needed to get started with the server component.

Note: NodeJS and NPM can be installed from your favorite package manager. Gulp should be installed using NPM, using, the command npm install -g gulp@3.9.1 (or npm install gulp@3.9.1 if you prefer not to globally install)

• NodeJS, v. 7.4.0 or later
• NPM, v. 4.0.5 or later
• Gulp, v. 3.9.1 or later

After installing the dependencies, clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/SteveXCIV/cap-w2-kinect-speech-server.git) and navigate to it. Finally, run npm install to install all the libraries the project uses.

Run gulp build¹, you should now have a directory in the top-level of the repository called build/; this contains all the build artifacts.

Run npm start, you should see some chatter on the console as the server comes online, you can then begin querying the API endpoints at http://localhost:3000/, or wherever you may have assigned the port via Environment Variables.

Run npm test after installing, this will invoke Mocha to run tests.

Run gulp clean¹, this will delete the contents of the build/ directory; this is useful if you want to ensure that everything is recompiled from ES6.

You can assign these (either permanently or temporarily) to change some of the server behavior. Along with the variables, the default values are listed (if applicable):

• PORT (default: 3000): The port the server listens for connections on. Typically, this is 80 for a production webserver, but different for development work (since regular HTTP traffic goes over 80)

1. If you chose not to install Gulp globally, you'll need to run it from ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js instead of just using gulp.
