Ubuntu
--------------------
First, we install our base software stack:
.. code:: bash
$ apt-get install git nodejs redis-server imagemagick
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):**
.. code:: bash
$ add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Next, clone this repository:
.. code:: bash
$ cd /path/to/nodebb/install/location
$ git clone git://github.com/designcreateplay/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``. `Take a look at the options here <https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/How-to-run-NodeBB>`_.
