Orion (9.0)
A minimal, single-user deployment of Eclipse Orion. Orion provides an extensible IDE that runs in your browser. It's particularly good for writing Javascript.
Features
- Basic file management
- Source code editing
- Install plugins to customize your environment
- Fully featured web shell provided by pty.js (OS X and Linux only)
Usage
For full instructions, see the Getting Started guide.
Installation
Run npm install orion
. Or checkout the source repo from GitHub or
Eclipse.org.
Running the server
- Browse to the directory where you installed Orion, usually
node_modules/orion/
. - Edit the
orion.conf
file. Uncomment the following line, replacing the password with something of your choice:
pwd=secr3tPassw0rd
This prevents unauthorized access to your Orion server.
3. Run npm start orion
or node [node_modules]/orion/server.js
.
4. Go to http://localhost:8081 to use Orion. You will be prompted with a basic auth dialog; enter the password you chose earlier.
The port number can be changed by passing the -p
argument.
Global installation
If you installed Orion as a global package with npm install -g orion
, you can run the command orion
from any directory (rather than npm start orion
as outlined above.)
Orion will then start using your current directory (or a directory you specify on the command line) as the location.
See the Getting Started guide for more details.
Using Orion within a larger app
Use require('orion')
to get access to our startServer function, which is suitable for use within a larger connect project:
var orion = ;var connect = ;var myapp = /* .use( additional handlers ) */
Running the tests
We use Mocha for our tests. Run npm test
or mocha
.
