###and you are done... ;-)
After installation, start IDE by running
cloud9 ./ in your project directory
Optionally, you may specify the directory you'd like to work on:
cloud9 -w ~/git/workspace/myproject
Well, Cloud9 will be started as a web server on port -p 3131, you can access it by
pointing your browser to: http:https://localhost:3131
By default Cloud9 will only listen to localhost.
To listen to a different IP or hostname, use the -l HOSTNAME flag.
If you want to listen to all IP's:
cloud9 -l 0.0.0.0
If you are listening to all IPs it is adviced to add authentication to the IDE.
You can either do this by adding a reverse proxy in front of Cloud9,
or use the built in basic authentication through the --username and --password flags.
cloud9 --username node --password express
Cloud9 wouldn't be where it is now without contributions. Feel free to fork and improve/enhance Cloud9 in any way your want. If you feel that the Cloud9 community will benefit from your changes, please open a pull request.
#Happy coding ;-) P.S: Sharing this repo to make installing and using Cloud9 easy. I spent hours getting Cloud9 locally working on different machines. I have tested this working on Linux Mint, CentOS 6.3, and Ubuntu 12.04. If something is broken please create an issue and will try to work on it.
