Using it

Don't use this, just grab a .zip from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-blogging/ instead.

Development Prerequisites

To 'build' Live Blogging for WordPress:

• Make
• Java
• gettext
• pngcrush (OSX/Linux only - not needed on Windows)

To run the Live Blogging for WordPress test suite:

• Ruby
• Bundler
• Firefox
• Vagrant

Using the development version of it

make dist
cd sandbox
vagrant up

This will start a VM at http://192.168.20.10 with a blank WordPress blog for you to experiment with. This must be running for the Cucumber tests to run. The database is wiped on every load of the sandbox. The username and password for the WordPress admin is admin and cucumber.

Alternatively, you can run

make dist

And use the build/ folder in your own WordPress development instance.

Running the tests

make test

Ensuring code quality

make strict
