Popcorn.js Quick-Start Guide (Linux):

1) Get the source:

1. Install git and set up GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git
2. Give Scott or Russ your github username and email address
3. Clone our fork (recursively including submodules): git clone --recursive https://github.com/ChicoTeam/popcorn-js.git

2) Compile the project:

1. Build Popcorn-js by running make in the popcorn-js directory
   • make -jX (where X == the number of jobs to run simultaneously)
     • using this option will make the build process faster! :)

3) Run the tests:

1. Mute your sound
2. Start the http server: ./tools/httpd.py
3. Open the QUnit test runner in your browser: http://localhost:9914/test/

Tips:

• Sometimes tests will fail. Re-run any failing tests individually to see if there actually is a failure.
• Report failing tests: Add a new ticket

4) Run the example:

• Open popcorn-js/example.html in your web browser.
  • located at http://localhost:9914/example.html
  • remember to keep your test server running!
