INSTALLATION

Setup

To fetch the latest version of Kalamar ...

$ git clone https://github.com/KorAP/Kalamar

Generate Static Asset Files

To generate the static asset files (scripts, styles, images ...), you need NodeJS > 0.8 and npm (maybe bundled with your version of NodeJS). For processing Sass, you will need Ruby with the sass gem in addition. This will probably need administration rights.

$ cd Kalamar
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
$ npm install
$ grunt

Start Server

Kalamar uses the Mojolicious framework, that expects a Perl version of at least 5.10.1. The recommended environment is based on Perlbrew with App::cpanminus.

Some perl modules are not on CPAN yet, so you need to install them from GitHub. The easiest way to do this is using App::cpanminus. This will probably need administration rights.

$ cpanm git://github.com/Akron/Mojolicious-Plugin-Search.git
$ cpanm git://github.com/Akron/Mojolicious-Plugin-Localize.git

Then install the dependencies as always and run the test suite.

$ cd Kalamar
$ cpanm --installdeps .
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make test

Kalamar can be deployed like all Mojolicious apps. The easiest way is to start the built-in server:

$ perl script/kalamar daemon

Kalamar will then be available at localhost:3000 in your browser.

By default, Kalamar tries to connect to localhost:9999. You may change that endpoint to the KorAP API provider in kalamar.conf.

Localization

To create a localized version of Kalamar, start the localize command with the target locale as its argument, e.g. pl for polish.

$ perl script/kalamar localize pl

The newly defined dictionary file can then be added to the resource definition of the Localize plugin.

Currently the JavaScript translations are separated and stored in dev/js/src/loc.
