notes.md

Prequisites

• Google account
• Git installed
• Docker installed
• 1h time

(1) Create a Google Spreadsheet

The required structure of the spreadsheet is explained in the README file of the "Build your own Radar" project:

https://github.com/thoughtworks/build-your-own-radar#setting-up-your-data

(2) Clone the TechRadar

git clone https://github.com/thoughtworks/build-your-own-radar.git

(3) So some adjustments

For example:

diff --git a/src/graphing/radar.js b/src/graphing/radar.js
index f807e4d..fc8bbba 100644
--- a/src/graphing/radar.js
+++ b/src/graphing/radar.js

   }
 
   function mouseoverQuadrant(order) {

Take care that the tool is licensed under the AGPL license.

(3) Start the server

cd build-your-own-radar
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD:/app -w /app -it node:7.3.0 /bin/sh -c 'npm install && npm run dev'

Now you can access the tool on http://localhost:8080.
