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, depending on your installation path. These tools may also be available with a package manager.

You can check, if all tools are available using

$ npm -v
$ sass -v

Afterwards you can install grunt and run grunt to create the assets.

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

Whenever the assets change, just rerun 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 in the configuration (see Kustvakt for further information).

Configuration

The basic configuration file is kalamar.conf. To define derivations, create a configuration file with the pattern kalamar.[MYNAME].conf and follow the descriptions 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.
