## Development
You need to have the following tools installed on your development machine before moving on:
- [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) & [npm](https://npmjs.org/)
- [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) (for sanity, install with [rvm](https://rvm.io/))
- [Bundler](http://bundler.io/)
### Install dependencies
Run the following command from the repository's root folder to install all dependencies.
```bash
npm i && bundle install
```
### Development build
Spin up local dev server and livereloading watch task, reachable under [https://localhost:1337](https://localhost:1337):
```bash
gulp
```
## Deployment
The site is hosted in an S3 bucket and gets deployed via a gulp task.
### Prerequisite: Authentication
To deploy the site, you must authenticate yourself against the AWS API with your AWS credentials. Get your AWS access key and secret and add them to `~/.aws/credentials`:
```
[default]
aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>
```
This is all that is needed to authenticate with AWS if you've setup your credentials as the default profile.
If you've set them up as another profile, say `[bigchain]` you can grab those credentials by using the `AWS_PROFILE` variable like so:
```bash
AWS_PROFILE=bigchain gulp deploy:live
```
In case that you get authentication errors or need an alternative way to authenticate with AWS, check out the [AWS documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/guide/node-configuring.html).
### Production build & live deployment
```bash
# make sure your local npm packages & gems are up to date
npm update && bundle update
# make production build in /_dist
gulp build --production
# deploy contents of /_dist to live
gulp deploy:live
```
