• Node.js (0.6+) and npm

• Dart binaries

Node.js powers the simple REST-like backend. Node is found at http://nodejs.org/#download.

A number of node packages are used, the primary of which are http:http://expressjs.com/[express.js] (provides a nice DSL for writing REST-like applications) and http:https://github.com/felixge/node-dirty[node-dirty] (a simple nosql datastore). Installation of these packages is accomplished with http:http://npmjs.org/[npm] (the node package manager). The following two commands will install npm, express.js, node-dirty and everything else needed:

These are not strictly needed if you have access to a Dart enabled browser. But, since Dart enabled browsers are somewhat rare, Dart executables can be used to compile the Dart code into Javascript.

Grab the executable appropriate for you platform from the http:from dart binaries server (i.e. get dart-linux.zip, dart-macos.zip, or dart-win32.zip).
