|
|
Required Software
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
First, install the following programs:
|
|
|
|
* https://windows.github.com/
|
|
* http://nodejs.org/
|
|
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/redis/files/redis-2.6.10/
|
|

|
You may have to restart your computer.

Running NodeBB
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Start Redis Server
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The default location of Redis Server is
|
|
|
|
**C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Redis\\StartRedisServer.cmd**
|
|
|
|
Open Git Shell, and type the following commands. Clone NodeBB repo:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git
|
|
|
|
Enter directory:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
cd NodeBB
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
Run interactive installation:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
node app.js
|
|
|
|
You may leave all of the options as default.
|
|
|
|
And you're done! After the installation, run
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
node app.js
|
|
|
|

Developing on Windows
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
It's a bit of a pain to shutdown and restart NodeBB everytime you make changes. First install supervisor:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
npm install -g supervisor
|
|
|
|
Open up bash:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
bash
|
|
|
|
And run NodeBB on "watch" mode:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
./nodebb watch
|
|
|
|
It will launch NodeBB in development mode, and watch files that change and automatically restart your forum.
