#Candle

##About

Candle is a client/server package for controlling Chrome (and Chromium based browsers) remotely. Use it to show pictures of cats on your dashboard monitors or to close/make active different tabs.

##Installation

The only requirement is node/npm. Download them through your favorite package manager, or at http://nodejs.org/

If you've got npm installed, you can simply run this command from the top level directory:

npm run install-all

… which will install bower (globally), and fetch the bower dependencies for the Chrome extension and Server.

You can install just the server:

npm run install-server

And just the client:

npm run install-client

##Running

###Server

After running the installation step above, you can run the server via:

npm run server -- -p [port]

Or:

node server/server.js -p [port]

Where [port] is a required argument, and a number.

Visiting 127.0.0.1:[port] with a client connected will present you the administration page.

###Client

In Chrome, visit the extensions page, hit the 'Load unpacked extension…' button, navigate to the chrome/ subdirectory and select it.
