Mapping Salt Lake City is a community-created archive of Salt Lake City’s neighborhoods and people that documents the city’s changes through art, critical and creative literature, personal maps and multi-media projects.

We invite people to engage with and evolve this site by submitting their own contributions.

Paisley Rekdal (home page) is the creator and Editor for Mapping Salt Lake City.

Chris Tanseer is a founding member of the project and serves as the Assistant Editor and Lead Web Developer for the project.

Isomer Academy, a web development bootcamp in Salt Lake City, maintains the web site. Managed by Isomer instructors, the students work on the site as a core part of their training.

Funding has been provided by The Utah Humanities Council, [The University of Utah] (http://www.utah.edu/), The Richard B. Siegel Foundation, and Westminster College.

Mapping Salt Lake City was inspired by the work of Rebecca Solnit.

Make sure you have installed all these prerequisites on your development machine.

• Node.js - Download & Install Node.js and the npm package manager, if you encounter any problems, you can also use this Github Gist to install Node.js.
• MongoDB - Download & Install MongoDB, and make sure it's running on the default port (27017).
• Bower - You're going to use the Bower Package Manager to manage your front-end packages, in order to install it make sure you've installed Node.js and npm, then install bower globally using npm:

$ npm install -g bower

Grunt - You're going to use the Grunt Task Runner to automate your development process, in order to install it make sure you've installed Node.js and npm, then install grunt globally using npm:

$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

You can also use Git to directly clone the Mapping Salt Lake City repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/PoetsRock/MappingSLC.git

This will clone the latest version of the Mapping Salt Lake City repository to your local machine.

Begin by installing the Node.js dependencies. Go to your application folder and run in the command line:

$ npm install

We've noticed that, on occasion, you need to run this command two or three times to get all of the dependencies. Additionally, you'll want to run:

$ bower install

(If it asks you to pick a version of AngularJS, select version 1.2.26.)

After the install process is over, you'll be able to run your application using Grunt, just run grunt default task:

$ grunt

Your application should run on the 3000 port so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

That's it! your application should be running by now, to proceed with your development check the other sections in this documentation. If you encounter any problem try the Troubleshooting section.
