# Development Enviroment
|
|
|

|
|
1. Enter the directory in your terminal.
|
|

|
|
1. Install using npm.
|
|
* Terminal Command: `npm install`

# Live Deployment Installation
|
|
|
|
1. (Follow steps 1 - 3 above)
|
|
1. Use PM2 to start the backend server.
|
|
* Terminal Command: `pm2 start ./server/main.js --node-args="-r esm" --name hackchat-dev-server`
|
|
* See tips below to make the server start on boot.
|
|
1. Migrate the contents of `./hackchat/client` into any suitable directory of your webserver. HackChat comes bundled with `http-server` for development purposes only, it is highly recommended that you use a better web server such as Nginx or Apache.
|
|
1. (OPTIONAL) Cleanup; you may delete `hackchat/clientSource` and `hackchat/documentation`
|
|
|
|
# Tips
|
|
|
|
* If you plan on using SSL to serve the client; you will need to use a **reverse proxy**, as TLS is not natively supported by the hack.chat server software (this may change in future releases).
|
|
* **Do not use root.** Installing while using the root account or installing with root privileges will result in an error similar to the following:
|
|
`npm WARN lifecycle hack.chat-v2@2.1.92~postinstall: cannot run in wd hack.chat-v2@2.1.91 cd ./clientSource && npm install && cd .. & cd ./server && npm install && npm run config (wd='/dir')`
|
|
* PM2 may be configured to start the backend server on boot, read [https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/startup/](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/startup/)
|
|
* On some computers, due to a bug in `http-server`, **a blank page** may be shown while attempting to open the default index page. If this happens, change the url to include `index.html`, or browse to a channel; `http://127.0.0.1:3000/?programming`
|
|
* **Do not install using** `sudo apt install nodejs`, instead use:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ~
|
|
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
|
|
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
|
|
sudo apt install nodejs
|
|
```
|
|
* Quick setup script, tested on Ubuntu 18.
|
|
* `cd ~`
|
|
* `nano ./hc_install.sh`
|
|
* Paste:
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
cd ~
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential git
|
|
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x -o nodesource_setup.sh
|
|
sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh
|
|
sudo apt install nodejs
|
|
nodejs -v
|
|
npm -v
|
|
git --version
|

git clone https://github.com/hack-chat/main.git hackchat
