Common components for building realtime applications in XWiki.
Although it is recommended to install this application from the XWiki Extension Manager, you can build and install it manually using XWiki Tools to construct the .xar file.
If you decide to install it manually, first you have to install the XWiki Realtime Backend server in your wiki using the Extension Manager. Then you have to get all the JavaScript dependencies using Bower. Finally you can build the .xar file with XWiki Tools:
# First make sure you have XWiki Tools and Bower installed and up-to-date
npm install -g xwiki-tools
npm install -g bower
# Then download all the dependencies using Bower
bower install
# Finally, build the XAR and import it in your wiki
xargen
# Alternatively you can build and import in one operation using:
xargen --post User:[email protected]:8080/xwiki
# Or generate a Maven compatible build using:
xargen -mvn
