Fontello installation instruction

This project requires Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. But it probabply can work on more fresh version, Debian and other OS-es. Hovever, it's not tested anywhere else, and support is not provided. If you wish, you can send patches, that improve compatibility.

MongoDB

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian-or-ubuntu-linux/

Follow instructions on link above. Then edit /etc/mongodb.conf, add bind_ip = 127.0.0.1 to the start.

restart mongodb

If you don't use db auth - no mode actions needed. If you plan to use it - create database and set login/password.

node.js

Install build dependencies of node:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install git curl
git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm

Add following code into the end of your shell startup script (.bashrc for BASH):

if [ -s "$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" ] ; then
    . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh # Loads NVM into a shell session.
fi

Reopen terminal. Install node (long), and set default version:

nvm install 0.10
nvm alias default 0.10

Fontello

Install fontello sources & dependencies:

sudo apt-get install zip inotify-tools
git clone git://github.com/fontello/fontello.git
cd fontello
git submodule init
git submodule update
npm install
make dependencies

Rename example configs in ./config/ folder to real files, and edit, if needed.

Note(!) make dependencies just try to install ttfautohint. That's for Ubuntu and Debian. For mac & win - just install manually from original website http://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/ and make sure, that it's in your PATH.

Run Fontello server

In dev, with auto-restart on files change:

make dev-server

Now you can point your browser to the page http://localhost:3000

Rebuilding embedded fonts

Detailed description will be added soon.

make rebuild
