After installing the dependencies mentioned above, you can use +carton or cpanminus to install Perl depenencies locally. + +In the project root directory (where `cpanfile` resides), run either + +``` +carton install +``` + +or + +``` +cpanm -n --installdeps . +``` + +Next, you need to build App::VRR::Fakedisplay, which is required for the lED +frontend and shipped with vrr-fakedisplay. + +``` +perl Build.PL +./Build +./Build manifest +sudo ./Build install +``` -First, build App::VRR::Fakedisplay which is required for the LED frontend: +## Running -* perl Build.PL -* ./Build -* ./Build manifest -* sudo ./Build install +You are now ready to start the web service.
