# OpenAM XUI

## Building

You can build the package using Maven:

```

$ maven install

```

This will output a zip file in the build artifact directory. For example, `target/openam-ui-ria-<version>-www.zip`.

## Development

We use [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) to build the project. Build dependencies are installed via

[npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).

If you want to develop the UI, we strongly recommend running Grunt to perform the syncing of the source code with your

running application server. To do this, there are a few prerequisites:

* Ensure you have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.

* Add an environment variable, `OPENAM_HOME`, that points to an expanded OpenAM install in your application server's

webapp directory. For example, `OPENAM_HOME=~/tomcat/webapps/openam`.

then do:

```

$ npm install

$ grunt

```

Grunt will then start watching the source and sync any changed files over to your server's webapp directory.
