# KolabChat
*WARNING: PRE-ALPHA SOFTWARE, WILL EAT ALL THE BABIES*
KolabChat provides an Instant Messaging and Video Chat application.
The goal of this project is to give Kolab users tools to communicate
with each other in real time using web browser.
To learn about Kolab visit https://kolab.org
# Building
This covers building for development purposes:
* Install dependencies with `mix deps.get`
* Optional steps
* Install inotify-tools (or equiv) package for live reloading during devel
* Create and migrate your database with `mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate`
* Node.js components
* Node.js is only a build dependency, and is used to build the web assets
For just running Kolab Chat, Node.js is NOT required.
* Node.js version 5.0.0 or newer is required.
* Install dependencies with `npm install`
* Install babel presets: `npm install babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-es2016`
* Initialize database: `mix amnesia.create -db KolabChat.Database --disk`
* Start Phoenix endpoint with `mix phoenix.server`
Now you can visit [`localhost:4000`](http://localhost:4000) from your browser.
