# Fauxton
Fauxton is the new Web UI for CouchDB. To get it running in development on your machine. Follow the steps below.
## Install as standalone server via npm
You can use the latest release of Fauxton via npm:
npm install -g fauxton
fauxton
See `fauxton --help` for extra options.
## Setting up Fauxton
Please note that [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and npm is required. Specifically, Fauxton requires at least Node 6 and npm 3.
1. Fork this repo (see [GitHub help](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) for details)
1. Clone your fork: `git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/couchdb-fauxton.git`
1. Go to your cloned copy: `cd couchdb-fauxton`
1. Set up the upstream repo:
* `git remote add upstream https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton.git`
* `git fetch upstream`
* `git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/main main`
1. Download all dependencies: `npm install`
1. Make sure you have CouchDB installed.
- Option 1 (**recommended**): Use `npm run docker:up` to start a Docker container running CouchDB with user `tester` and password `testerpass`.
- You need to have [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/) installed to use this option.
- Option 2: Follow instructions
[found here](http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install/index.html)
## Running Fauxton
**NOTE: Before you run Fauxton, don't forget to start CouchDB!**
### The Dev Server
Using the dev server is the easiest way to use Fauxton, especially when developing for it. In the cloned repo folder,
type:
```
npm run dev
```
You should be able to access Fauxton at `http://localhost:8000`
### Preparing a Fauxton Release
Follow the "Setting up Fauxton" section above, then edit the `settings.json` variable root where the document will live,
e.g. `/_utils/`. Then type:
```
npm run couchdb
```
This will install the latest version of Fauxton into `/share/www/`
### To Deploy Fauxton
To deploy to your local [CouchDB instance](http://localhost:5984/fauxton/_design/fauxton/index.html):
grunt couchapp_deploy
### Build pipeline overview
During a release build we are creating a folder called `dist/tmp-out`.
It contains all files that are just intermediate results for the final
release artifact. Once everything is finished the files are copied from
`tmp-out` to their final destination, `dist/release` where they are
part of the deployable release artifact.
### (Optional) To avoid a npm global install
# Development mode, non minified files
npm run couchdebug
# Or fully compiled install
npm run couchdb
