#Pokernet The pokernet game requires python and node.js function. The server end uses the django framework for the general application and a node.js instance running to handle games and logic. Several dependencies are also required on the server, including django for python and several libraries for node.js

##Install

Python can be downloaded and installed to your system from https://www.python.org/

Django may be installed on the server by using

git clone git://github.com/django/django.git django-trunk

and then

sudo pip install -e django-trunk/

We require the Pillow module, to install:

pip install Pillow

Node.js can be downloaded and installed to your system from http://nodejs.org/

Pokernet uses several node.js applications including express, handranker, and socket.io. to instal them, use npm:

npm -g install express handranker socket.io

then cd to the /sockets/ directory and run

npm link express handranker socket.io

pokernet currently utilizes the liteSQL database, to create, navigate to the application directory and run:

python manage.py syncdb

To run both server and client locally during development, a script is provided that will run both the node.js and django dev server. To use, simply cd into the project directory and run:

./start.sh

Various deployment strategies exist, however, note that the current version should not be used on a production server as many security features have not been implemented.

There are several steps required to ensure that the server/client will communicate.

On line 4 of /sockets/server.js, edit:

, server = app.listen(8081)

On line 23 of /static/js/game.js

var socket = io.connect('127.0.0.1:8081');

and on line 157 of /tables/templates/game.html:

<script src="http://127.0.0.1:8081/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>

Localhost should be replaced with the server address. Any open port can be utilized

Information on deploying the Django application on your server with WSGI can be found at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/wsgi/

You may need to setup your apache Virtual Host file similarly:

DocumentRoot /var/www/hyobyun.com

ServerName Poker

WSGIScriptAlias / /var/djangoProjects/pokernet/pokernet/wsgi.py

Alias /static /var/djangoProjects/pokernet/static/

<Directory "/var/www/hyobyun.com">

allow from all

Options +Indexes

Order deny,allow

Allow from all

Not much has to be done to deploy the node.js server. You may simply run:

forever node sockets/server.js
