Note - 6: this was updated to stick to version 0.6.x Then create a new directory for your NodeCG installation (I keep a separate NodeCG installation per each project), cd into it and do $ nodecg setup 0.6.3 This is a helper application that will simplify interaction with NodeCG.
#CASPARCG TUTORIAL INSTALL#
Open a command prompt and install a package called nodecg-cli: $ npm install -g nodecg-cli Make sure that you have installed NodeJS and NPM. If you are a front-end developer and someone from the Broadcast Technology department just sent you this - you are good to go as you are.
I also assume that you can find your way around a command prompt.
All of this technology heavily relies on Git and GitHub, so take your time to understand what Git and GitHub does. These may be unfamilliar to you if you hadn't had contact with the web stack for some time.
#CASPARCG TUTORIAL HOW TO#
Also, find out how to use NPM (it usually comes with the NodeJS installation) and Bower. You don't need to be a master, but you do need to have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS (especially CSS transitions and animations!) and JavaScript. Before we goīefore trying to set up a set of broadcast graphics using NodeCG, be sure to brush up on your web stack programming skills. With NodeCG, another area can be colonized: the TV broadcast. There is an abundance of web stack programmers and ready-made libraries, and that's why more and more companies are turning to these tools for their projects. JavaScript's appeal is simple - it forgives a lot in terms of hard Computer Science knowledge and offers a very calm learning curve, with very satisfactory results early on. NodeJS, NW.js and Electron are just a few frameworks/programming environments that allow use of JavaScript outside of the browser window. First, there were baby steps in the form of HTML being used in the user interface of desktop software, now entire software suites - server side application engines too - are being crafted entirely using web-style tooling. Web stack tools (by that I mean HTML, JavaScript and CSS) are quickly engulfing the entire programming world. This blog post is based on my experiences while writing a NodeCG football bundle. It's main target audience is the up-and-coming Twitch scene, but as I've found out, it can also find a lot of use in more traditional settings. NodeCG is a relatively fresh framework for creating broadcast graphics using web stack tools. Since then, some changes have been made in this rapidly changing tool.
#CASPARCG TUTORIAL UPDATE#
Update - 6: This article is based on NodeCG version ~0.6.0.
