About

The BeLL Apps consist of a number of media players that revolve around an LMS at the center. This is the third iteration of the BeLL software. It's a Backbone.js app that caches itself in the browser that is backed by CouchDB. We are currently targeting Firefox Mobile v27 for Android as the client browser. Click here to download the installable APK of Firefox Mobile v27 for Android.

Quick start

To get started quickly with using the BeLL Apps, follow the direction over here.

Installing from source code

Let's say you have your own CouchDB on something like Iriscouch.com at http://mycouch.iriscouch.com. In the following script we're going to download the source code to our local machine and then push it to that CouchDB of yours. Prerequisites for your computer include having installed Node.js and Git. Before you begin, set up a default admin for your database. For example, we might go to http://mycouch.iriscouch.com/_utils and set an admin with username pi and password raspberry.

ulimit -n 10056
git clone https://github.com/open-learning-exchange/BeLL-Apps.git;
cd BeLL-Apps/build/;
npm install;
./install --couchurl http://pi:[email protected];
./install --couchurl http://pi:[email protected];

Yes, we are running that install script twice because it is prone to race conditions on the first run.
