Noonian -- a full-stack Javascript platform for database and web application development.
==============================

## Installation 

### Install Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following software packages are installed on the machine:

1. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
2. [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav#community)
3. [bower](https://bower.io)


### Pull from npm

```bash
npm install -g noonian
```


*NOTE: if you are installing to a system-wide node install (as opposed to a node installation that is owned by a non-root user), 
there may be issues installing dependencies compiled via node-gyp.  To get around the issue, use the "unsafe-perm" parameter:*

```bash
npm install --unsafe-perm -g noonian
```

*This will be resovled in a future version that will have refactored out any dependencies that are not pure javascript.*
