Rosetta

Rosetta is a tool for translating PhET simulations. It is built using the MERN tech stack: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.

Quick Start

1. Make sure you have git installed on your system and in your PATH.
   • On Windows, you can install git from git-scm.com.
   • On macOS, you can install git using Homebrew with brew install git.
2. Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system.
   • You can download Node.js from nodejs.org.
   • After installing Node.js, you can verify the installation by running node -v and npm -v in your terminal.
   • If you are using Windows, make sure to add Node.js to your PATH during installation.
3. Execute git clone https://github.com/phetsims/rosetta.git
4. Execute cd rosetta && npm install
5. Execute ./scripts/sh/bootstrap.sh
6. Execute npm run update-dependencies
7. Rosetta requires a configuration file to run. You can create a sample configuration file by copying sampleConfig.json from this repository into /.phet/rosetta-config.json. There are several pieces of information that would be a security risk to include in the sample file, so if you're a PhET developer, you will need to work with other devs to get values for those fields.
