Grouse consists of both a REST-api and a web-based GUI.
You probably know by now that this is a Java so you need both maven and Java. Depending on which route you pick you might also need to install other dependencies. The project is developed on a Linux machine with Apache Maven 3.2.1 and Java 1.8. Please make sure both of these are installed before you attempt to run the project. You can verify your versions with:
mvn --version
java -version
The latest version of the code is available on Github at KDRS-SA/grouse. If you haven't cloned the project then:
git clone https://github.com/KDRS-SA/grouse.git
This option is a wrapper around the maven command. To compile the application and start it automatically, from the top level directory run :
make
Please note that maven will automatically download all dependencies (jar files) and put them in a directory ~/.m2. If you are uncomfortable with this, please check the pom.xml files to find out which jar files will be downloaded.
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean install
mvn spring-boot:run
You will see a lot of different startup messages, but there should be no exceptions. (Please let us know if there are any exceptions).
The program should output some thing like the following if everything is successful
Started GrouseApplication in 15.489 seconds (JVM running for 19.948)
You should be able to see which REST calls are available from the logging information that was written to the terminal. Search for Mapped and you can easily see a list. You will find something similar to the following:
`Mapped "{[/krav/{krav:.+}],methods=[GET]}"`
Grouse uses webjars to download required js resources. You can use make install-gui to force download of required js files. But this should also be done when make builds the project. You will require a HTTP server to serve web content.
