Orbit Appliance Demo

====================

Orbit is a tool to create rich, live and interactive multi-user applications across web and mobile platforms.

We provide a demo of Orbit inside a virtual machine. This is the easiest way we found to show you a working demo of Orbit that'll work whatever your environment is. Please contact us if you want to try Orbit.

Requirements

------------

* [Orbit appliance](http://aerys.in/contact)

* [VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org/)

* [Flash Builder](http://www.adobe.com/products/flashbuilder/) -- Recommended to run the client application.

Getting stated

--------------

* Start VirtualBox

* Add a machine and select `Orbit.vbox`

* Open VM settings

* Navigate to *Network* / *Adapter 1* / *Advanced* / *Port Forwarding*

* Create a new rule `flashboard' to redirect host port 4248 to VM port 4248

* Start the VM

* Open a terminal

* Go into the demo project: `$ cd Demo/flashboard`

* Compile the events / entities: `$ orbitc`

* Compile it: `$ waf configure build`

* Test it: `$ build/debug/server/flashboard --config server/config.xml`

* Open Flash Builder

* Create a new Flex project called `flashboard`

* Select the folder `flashboard/client` (clone it if needed)

* Press Next twice

* Click *Browse* next to *Main application file* and select `Flashboard.mxml`

* Run the Flex application

* Draw!

Installation

------------

Once the application is working, you'll want to run it along with other Orbit applications. You need to install it under `/var/orbit`.

* Compile it: `$ waf configure build install --prefix=/var/orbit`

* Enable it: `$ cd /var/orbit/apps/ && ln -s available enabled`

* Run it: `$ orbit -d /var/orbit start`

Troubleshooting

---------------

Make sure you have correctly set up port forwarding and that the server says `Flashboard server started on 0.0.0.0:4248`.

Also, Flash will need a socket policy file on the server if you want to run it in release (but that's not what you want).
