A 360° media viewer for the modern web.

This is not an official Google product.

Check out our website at http://www.marzipano.net/, including the demos and the documentation.

User guide

You can include Marzipano in your project in two different ways:

• Obtain the marzipano.js and marzipano.swf files from the latest release at http://www.marzipano.net and copy them into your project.

• Install Marzipano as a dependency using the npm package manager and require it as a module.

Developer guide

This is an npm-based project. A Node.js installation is required for development. You also need a Java compiler to build the SWF file containing the Flash renderers. (Set 32-bit Java path in your PATH, as MXMLC does not support 64-bit Java)

Run npm install to install the dependencies. If you haven't in a while, bring them up to date with npm update.

Run npm run dev to serve this directory at http://localhost:8080. While this script is running, the demos are live-reloaded whenever the source files are edited.

Run npm run test to serve the browser-based test suite at http://localhost:7357. While this script is running, the test suite is live-reloaded whenever the source or test files are edited.

Run npm run release to prepare a new release.

Run npm run deploy to deploy the release to the website.

Run npm publish to publish the release to the npm registry.
