Get citeproc-node
git clone https://github.com/zotero/citeproc-node.git cd citeproc-node
Fetch CSL 1.0 citation styles to where citeproc-node will find them
git clone https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles.git csl
Get CSL locale files
git clone https://github.com/citation-style-language/locales.git csl-locales
Your directory listing is now
citeprocmodule.js csl sampledata.json
citeprocnode.js cslFetcher.js test
citeprocnode-repl.js csl-locales testciteproc.js
citeServerConf.json csl_nodejs.js zoteronode.js
citeServer.js csl_nodejs_jsdom.js
COPYING node_modules
(csl, csl-locales, node_modules and test are all directories)
An attempt to start the server may yield this error (the command syntax shown below assumes the node binary is in your path, of course):
node ./lib/citeServer.js ... Error: Unable to load shared library /blah/blah/contextify.node ...
If so, follow the instructions at the top of the error message, which on a Linux system might read something like this:
To rebuild, go to the Contextify root folder and run 'node-waf distclean && node-waf configure build'.
So we do this:
cd node_modules/jsdom/node_modules/contextify/ node-waf distclean && node-waf configure build
If the command gives an error the first time, try it again. If that does not help, try this while you are still in the contextify directory:
cd .. && rm -r contextify git clone https://github.com/brianmcd/contextify.git cd contextify && npm rebuild
Return to the top of the citeproc-node directory and attempt to run the server (again assuming that the node binary is in your path):
node ./lib/citeServer.js
If all is well, you will see:
debug log file :./citeServerLog.log precaching CSL engines Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8085/
Now to test the server using the sampledata.json file provided in the citeproc-node sources. Try posting it to your server (which you should still have running):
curl --header "Expect:nothing" --header "Content-type: application/json" --data @sampledata.json -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8085?responseformat=html\&style=modern-language-association
You should see this response appear on your screen:
