DemosMinerva has demos that show off Minerva. Right now it has:

• A multi-user whiteboard

• A stream of public LiveJournal posts

You'll need to install:

• Minerva: https://github.com/ludios/Minerva (and all of its dependencies)

• Googstyle: https://github.com/ludios/Googstyle

• BeautifulSoup: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ (I use the 3.0 series)

To start the server, run:

twistd -n demosminerva_site -t tcp:7111:interface=127.0.0.1 --closure-library=/abspath/closure-library

or on Windows:

set PYTHONPATH=C:\DemoMinerva's_parent_directory (if not already in PYTHONPATH)
C:\Python27\python.exe C:\Python27\Scripts\twistd.py -n demosminerva_site -t tcp:7111:interface=127.0.0.1 --closure-library=C:\abspath\closure-library

Note that if closure-library is in the parent of the source directory, you can omit --closure-library=.

Then, navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7111/ in your browser.

If you want to recompile the compiled-JavaScript and .css files, you also need:

• Closure Compiler: http://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/

• Sass: http://sass-lang.com/

Then run:

./build_compiled_js.sh
./build_css.sh
