# NodeBB
|
|
**NodeBB** is a robust Node.js driven forum built on a redis database. It is powered by web sockets, and is compatible down to IE8.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
NodeBB requires a version of Node.js at least 0.8 or greater, and a Redis version 2.6 or greater.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
First, we install our base software stack:
|
|
|
|
# apt-get install git nodejs redis-server npm build-essential imagemagick
|
|
|
|
**If your package manager only installed a version of Node.js that is less than 0.8:**
|
|
|
|
# add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
|
|
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
|
|
|
|
Next, clone this repository:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /path/to/nodebb/install/location
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB.git nodebb
|
|
|
|
Obtain all of the dependencies required by NodeBB:
|
|
|
|
$ cd nodebb
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
|
|
Initiate the setup script by running the app with the `--setup` flag:
|
|
|
|
$ node app --setup
|
|
|
|
The default settings are for a local server running on the default port, with a redis store on the same machine/port.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, we run the forum.
|
|
|
|
$ node app
|
|
|
|
*(Optional)* Some server configurations may install the node binary as `nodejs` instead of `node`. You can re-map it (so as to not break compatibility with `node-supervisor`) by running the following command:
|
|
|
|
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/node node /usr/bin/nodejs 10 |
