To launch the project, after cloning or forking the repository, and placing yourself in the project folder: here are the commands you can apply for the backend part:
$ cd backend
$ npm install
$ node server.js
The backend is now running! Now place yourself back in the project folder, and for the frontend part you can do:
$ cd frontend
$ npm install && bower install
$ grunt serve
The frontend is now running! This frontend is associated with a watcher and a livereload module. This means it opens itself in your default browser.
You can run tests on the backend of the project. They were written using mocha and sinon. To run them, place yourself in the backend folder :
$ mocha -u tdd
Hugo and Garance mainly worked on the frontend part.
If you have any thoughts regarding the music or the effects applied on the tracks, you can ask Hugo.
About communication with the server, eg the connection or saving new mixes, you can ask Garance.
Max and Benjamin mainly worked on the backend part.
If you have any thoughts regarding the server, you can ask any of these guys: they both worked equally on each part.
This includes routes, API, database, tests and tool use.
