BFI National Archive fork of UniversalViewer/uv-hello-world that incorporates the Manifest URL-parsing functionality from UniversalViewer/examples - which lets you open the UV page at a specific Manifest by passing the Manifest in the URL.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Node
• NPM

Once these are installed, git clone this repository to your file system, then run the following commands in your terminal:

cd bfi_universal_viewer
npm install
npm start

Then browse to localhost:42001 or 172.18.7.xx:42001(42001 was chosen randomly - it could be 50000 instead).

The uv_start.sh script can be run on crontab to check whether the Universal Viewer is running, and start it if it is not.
