Installing dependencies

Install npm with your package-manager. On Debian-like systems run:

sudo apt-get install npm

Execute these commands on your server as a normal user to prepare the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/tcatm/meshviewer.git
cd meshviewer
npm install
npm install bower grunt-cli
node_modules/.bin/bower install

Configure

Copy config.js.example to config.js and change it to match your community.

dataPath (string)

dataPath must point to a directory containing nodes.json and graph.json (both are generated by ffmap-backend). Don't forget the trailing slash! Data may be served from a different domain with CORS enabled. Also, GZip will greatly reduce bandwidth consumption.

siteName (string)

Change this to match your communities' name. It will be used in various places.

mapSigmaScale (float)

This affects the initial scale of the map. Greater values will show a larger area. Values like 1.0 and 0.5 might be good choices.

showContact (bool)

Setting this to false will hide contact information for nodes.

maxAge (integer)

Nodes being online for less than maxAge days are considered "new". Likewise, nodes being offline for less than than maxAge days are considered "lost".

Building

Just run the following command from the meshviewer directory:

node_modules/.bin/grunt

This will generate build/ containing all required files.
