Quick Start
(Or at least, how I did it)

Install ndenv and node-build if not already installed:

Install exact NodeJS version for project ndenv install && ndenv rehash

Get NodeJS dependencies from cache:
npm install --cache-min 999999

Install docker:
https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/

If you run into TLS trouble with docker, see this:
http://alexjerez.net/docker-apparmor/

Start mongoDB server:
cd docker && ./start_mongo.sh

Install bower:
npm install -g bower

Install packages with bower from cache:
bower install --offline

Start server:
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt serve
