## First run
|
|||
|
|
Now let’s run our website quickly to see what embark will do for us.
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
npm install
|
|||
|
|
embark run
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
You should see the Embark console and it's components.
|
|||
|
|
* *Contracts* - the top left shows which contracts are deployed and their address. * Modules loaded and running - the top right shows the status of the loaded modules running (or not running) in Embark.
|
|||
|
|
* *Log* - the middle shows log output.
|
|||
|
|
* *Console* - on the bottom row there is a console that will let us interact with `web3` and `ipfs` (try it out by typing `help` to see available commands).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Embark output
|
|||
|
|
You’ll notice from the logs and from the modules that Embark has started Go-ethereum and IPFS processes, compiled and deployed our contract, and webpacked our website for us.
|
|||
|
|
> The contract warning in orange will disappear once we update our contract.
|
|||
|
|

### Take a tour of the barebones DReddit site
|
|||
|
|
The website has several features that *are not yet hooked up to our contract*, but let’s take a look around at the website anyway. Launch `http://localhost:8000` in your browser.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Functionality you'll see:
|
|||
|
|
* Create a post
|
|||
|
|
* Upvote / Downvote a post
|
|||
|
|
* Search and view posts
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Later, we'll hook this functionality up to a contract.
