A live editor and tutorial system inspired by learn.knockoutjs.com. In progress.

For fancy fonts, obtain a no-cost license for the web fonts MuseoSlab 500 and MuseoSlab 500 Italic and put the .woff, .eot, and ttf files into the webfonts directory under the names MuseoSlab-500.* and MuseoSlab-500Italic.*.

• Make sure you have Ruby 1.9.2 installed. It's recommended to use rvm to manage your Rubies and Gems.

• Clone the repo and cd to the learn-emberjs directory:

  $ git clone http://github.com/rklancer/learn-emberjs.git
  $ cd learn-emberjs
  

• Install submodules for Ace and Ember.js:

  $ git submodule update --init
  

• If you're using RVM to manage gemsets, you probably want to create and use a fresh gemset:

  $ echo 'rvm use 1.9.2@learn-emberjs --create' > .rvmrc
  $ cd ..; cd learn-emberjs
  

• Run 'bundle install' to get the BPM gem:

  $ bundle install
  

• Repeat the rvm and bundle install steps for in vendor/ember.js:

  $ cd vendor/ember.js
  $ echo 'rvm use 1.9.2@emberjs --create' > .rvmrc
  $ cd ..; cd ember.js
  $ bundle install
  

• Run rake inside the vendor/ember.js folder to build Ember itself:

  $ rake
  

• Finally, to open a local copy of Learn.Ember.js, run bpm preview in the root of the repo, and open http://localhost:4020/index.html in your favorite browser.

  $ cd ../..    
  $ bpm preview
  

• The rake task build will build a static copy of Learn.Ember.js into the directory dist/, with the main tutorial page at dist/index.html. The cross-iframe access required by Learn.Ember.js will be blocked by Chrome if you open index.html using the file protocol, so run a local server to visit the tutorial. Assuming you have Python installed on your system, you can run python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the dist/ folder, and then visit http://localhost:8000/index.html in your browser.

  $ rake build
  $ cd dist; python -m SimpleHTTPServer
  

• The (default) rake task tarball will build a tarball, learn-emberjs.tar.gz which can be inflated into the base directory of your choice on a static webserver.

  $ rake 
  $ ls learn.emberjs.tar.gz
