How do I install and use Scrooge

Question

I want to write a Thrift service using Scrooge.

Thrift has almost no documentation and Scrooge has even less.

How do I install Scrooge on an Ubuntu or OSX machine?

Once installed, and I have created a .thrift, how do I use Scrooge to generate server code and client code?

Answer 1

I created a giter8 template for you.

1. Install conscript

   curl https://raw.github.com/n8han/conscript/master/setup.sh | sh

2. Install giter8

   cs n8han/giter8

3. Get my template

   g8 MasseGuillaume/scrooge

4. Install sbt (I Like sbt-extra) + add sbt to your $PATH

   curl https://raw.github.com/paulp/sbt-extras/master/sbt > ~/bin/sbt

5. apply default parameters

6. Start a server on a terminal tab

   sbt server/run

7. Start a client on another terminal tab when the server has started

   sbt client/run
