How do I install and use Scrooge

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?

Solution

  • 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
