Quick install for testing

The neuron catalog can be most easily installed for testing using Vagrant.

  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Install Vagrant.
  3. Download the neuron catalog source code from our GitHub repository.
  4. Open a terminal window into the neuron-catalog directory (containing the Vagrantfile).
  5. Type vagrant up.
  6. Wait a few minutes until for the Vagrant machine to come up.
  7. Open http://localhost:3450/ with your browser to visit your newly installed neuron catalog server.
  8. You can stop the server and remove it with vagrant destroy.

If you want to enable image uploads, configure Amazon AWS for image storage and edit the Vagrantfile to add the relevant S3 information before running the above steps.

Install for longer term runs

The neuron catalog software consists of a standard Meteor.js server. Instructions for getting started with Meteor are here. Rougly speaking, configure Amazon AWS for image storage, create a Meteor settings file and then run Meteor:

cp server/server-config.json.example server/server-config.json
# Edit server/server-config.json in a text editor as appropriate.
meteor run --settings server/server-config.json
