Ubuntu
--------------------
First, we install our base software stack:
.. code:: bash
$ sudo apt-get install git nodejs redis-server imagemagick npm
If you want to use MongoDB, LevelDB, or another database instead of Redis please look at the :doc:`Configuring Databases <../../configuring/databases>` section.
**If your package manager only installed a version of Node.js that is less than 0.8 (e.g. Ubuntu 12.10, 13.04), use ``node --version`` to determine your version of Node.js:**
.. code:: bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Next, clone this repository:
.. code:: bash
$ git clone git://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
Obtain all of the dependencies required by NodeBB:
.. code:: bash
$ cd nodebb
$ npm install
Initiate the setup script by running the app with the ``setup`` flag:
.. code:: bash
$ ./nodebb 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.
.. code:: bash
$ ./nodebb start
NodeBB can also be started with helper programs, such as ``supervisor`` and ``forever``. :doc:`Take a look at the options here <../../running/index>`.
