Env Vars
beaker_log_level: how much logging to put out. Must be: 'trace', 'debug', 'info', 'warn', or 'error. Default: 'warn'.
Running the tests
Tests use their own package.json:
cd tests
npm install
To run:
cd tests
npm test
Building from source
Requires node 6.2.1. In linux (possibly also OSX) you need libtool, m4, and automake.
sudo apt-get install libtool m4 automake
To build:
git clone https://github.com/pfrazee/beaker.git
cd beaker
npm install
npm run rebuild #see https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5851
npm start
If you pull latest from the repo and get weird module errors, do:
npm run burnthemall
This invokes the mad king, who will torch your npm_modules, and do the full install/rebuild process for you.
npm start should work afterwards.
If you're doing development, npm run watch to have assets build automatically.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
