Install Dist::Zilla using your preferred CPAN client:
$ cpanm Dist::ZillaInstall the project dependencies:
$ dzil listdeps |
54E7
cpanmStart server on port 5000
$ plackupThe backend defaults to api.metacpan.org. Running a local API server is optional and not required to hack on the front-end. The address to the API user can be changed in the metacpan_web.conf file. Ideally you would create a new file called metacpan_web_local.conf that contains
api localhost:5000which will be loaded on top of the existing config file.
$ plackup -p 5001 -rThis will use the API server at localhost:5000 and sets the port of the front-end to 5001. The process will watch changes in the /lib directory.
