## Installation

The installation of certain tools can be a bit annoying, but these then

become inseparable friends to all developer. We will not explain how

to install each and every one of these tools, especially because their

sites do much better than what we could do ourselves:

### Requirements

-   [node.JS](http://nodejs.org)

-		[Redis-server](http://redis.io)

### Install Redis

    wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.4.17.tar.gz

    tar xvf redis-2.4.17.tar.gz

    cd redis-2.4.17

    make && make install

Start Redis

`./redis-server ./redis.conf`

### Install Balloons.IO

If you have these 2 tools installed, go to terminal and type:

    git clone https://github.com/gravityonmars/Balloons.IO.git

    cd Balloons.IO

    npm install

    mv config/config.sample.json config/config.json

Then, edit config/config.json with your favorite text editor and add Facebook & Twitter keys.

To allow Sign In with Twitter: 

- [Create a new application](https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new) and copy the keys that Twitter gives you into 'config/config.json'. 

- Go to your Twitter app Settings and add the Callback URL contained in 'config/config.json': http://127.0.0.1:6789/auth/twitter/callback

To allow Sign In with Facebook:

- [Create a new application](https://developers.facebook.com/apps) and copy the keys Facebook gives you into 'config/config.json'.

- Go to your Facebook app Settings/Basic, click on Website with Facebook Login and add the Callback URL contained in 'config/config.json':

http://127.0.0.1:6789/auth/facebook/callback

Go to terminal and run `node balloons`.

Point your browser to `http://127.0.0.1:6789` (You can also change the port from 'config/config.json')

Balloons uses [PassportJS](http://passportjs.org) for authentication with Twitter and Facebook.

Enjoy!
