a google reader clone built with go on appengine and angularjs.
setting up a local dev environment
- Install Python 2.7 and make sure it is in your
PATH. (Google App Engine doesn't yet work with Python 3.)
- Install Git and Mercurial and make sure
git and hg are in your PATH.
- Install the Go App Engine SDK.
- Set your
GOPATH (to something like /home/user/mygo), and make sure it's a directory that exists. (Note: set this on your machine's environment, not in the go.bat file.)
- Further commands use
goapp which lives in the go_appengine directory from the SDK. Make sure it's in your PATH.
- Download dependencies by running:
goapp get -d github.com/mjibson/goread. This will download goread and all of its dependencies, and will stick them in your GOPATH.
-
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mjibson/goread.
-
git checkout master (bug in go get).
- Copy
app.sample.yaml to app.yaml.
- In the
goread directory, copy settings.go.dist to settings.go.
- From the
goread directory, start the app with goapp serve. (On Windows, you may need to do this instead: python C:\go_appengine\dev_appserver.py app.yaml.)
- View at localhost:8080, admin console at localhost:8000.
