With the basic setup ready, we are now ready to install Spark-server!
1.) run cd just to be sure we are in the base directory. Otherwise, you can choose where you want to git clone the repo.
2.) Download the spark-server repo:
git clone https://github.com/spark/spark-server.git
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ git clone https://github.com/spark/spark-server.git
Cloning into 'spark-server'...
remote: Reusing existing pack: 272, done.
remote: Total 272 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (272/272), 61.07 KiB | 80 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (155/155), done.
3.) go to the spark-server folder
cd spark-server
4) Install the module!
`npm install --verbose`
You usually won't need --verbose but things are a little slow on the Rpi and it would be nice to see what's going on.
ALERT:
The URSA node module is not installing correctly with the install.js script from spark-server.
I am not sure why but it managed to build from source when i tried to find out the issue.
So we have to manually build it instead by:
cd node_modules
git clone https://github.com/Medium/ursa.git
cd ursa
npm install -verbose
Another issue came up with the express module so...
cd
cd spark-server
npm install express -verbose`
WOOHOO! We now have a shiny new server which talks COAP protocol and responses to API calls!!
Commands summary list:
git clone [email protected]:spark/spark-server.git
