## Running

The app is built with [Plovr](http://plovr.com). To run the unminified version you need to:

1. [Download Plovr](http://plovr.com/download.html)
2. Create a directory called `build`
3. Put the jar file in the build folder
4. Create a folder, `js/lib`
5. Download and move the contents of [PlastronJS](https://github.com/rhysbrettbowen/PlastronJS) to `js/lib`

Then run the following command in your terminal:

	java -jar build/plovr.jar serve plovr.json

Change the script src at the bottom of `index.html` from:

	js/compiled.js

to

	http://localhost:9810/compile?id=todomvc&mode=raw


You can now view the uncompiled example and play around with it!


## Compiling

Once you have done the steps above, you can compile any changes you make by running the below command:

	java -jar build/plovr.jar build plovr.json

View the compiled version for the page by changing the bottom script `src` back to `js/compiled`.
