# Hack.Chat v2
This is a backwards compatible continuation of the work by Andrew Belt [https://github.com/AndrewBelt/hack.chat](https://github.com/AndrewBelt/hack.chat). The server code has been updated to ES6 along with several new features- including new commands and hot-reload of the commands/protocol.
## Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
### Prerequisites
What things you need to install the software and how to install them
```
node >= 8.10.0
npm >= 5.7.1
```
### Installing
Clone this git and cd into the directory. These steps will get a development env running:
```
npm install
```
Or on a Windows machine with Yarn installed:
```
yarn install
```
Then:
```
node main.js
```
The configuration script will execute the initial server setup by requesting input. Follow the steps until it finishes:
```
Note: npm/yarn run config will re-run this utility.
You will now be asked for the following:
- Admin Name, the initial admin username
- Admin Pass, the initial admin password
- Port, the port for the websocket
- Salt, the salt for username trip
prompt: adminName: admin
prompt: adminPass: ****
prompt: websocketPort: (6060)
prompt: tripSalt: ************
Config generated! You may now start the server normally.
```
You may now begin development or deploy to live system with a node process manager.
## Deployment
After configuration, push everything except the node_modules folder to the live server and re-run:
```
npm install
```
You can now run start the server software with a process manager like PM2.
