Setup

With the required software in place and the code checked out, it is just a matter of starting web frontend. Please make sure all services are running before doing this.

The web frontend is setup using the sbt build system. Change directory into the medici-play main directory and run the code using the following command

./sbt run

To have access to other commands enter the sbt shell first and the use one of the many commands available (you can get a list by typing help in the shell). For example, to build the application for deployment type the following:

./sbt
> dist

The default configuration is fine for simple testing, but if you would like to modify any of the settings, you can find the all the configuration files under the /conf directory. The following files are of particular importance:

• /conf/application.conf includes all the basic configuration entries. For example the MongoDB credentials for deployments where MongoDB has non default configuration.
• /conf/play.plugins is usesd to turn on and off specific functionality in the system. Plugins specific to Medici are available under /app/services.
• /conf/securesocial.conf includes configuration settings for email functionality when signup as well as ways to configure the different identity providers (for example Twitter or Facebook). More information can be found on the securesocial website.
