Installation

This web app has been built and tested on a Linux environment. You're going to encounter some errors if you use Windows, so I suggest that you use Linux as well!

1. Installing NodeJS

To install NodeJS 9 on Ubuntu and Debian based Linux distributions:

sudo apt install nodejs

To install on other distributions, follow the appropriate instructions on this page.

To ensure that NodeJS was installed properly, you can use the following command:

node -v

and it should return something similar to v9.11.1.

2. Install NPM

NPM is typically installed when you install NodeJS. This means that NPM is likely already installed. To check, type the following command:

npm -v

and it should return something similar to 6.5.0.

If you need any more details on NPM, I suggest checking out NPM's install page and their website.

3. Downloading Beestream

Find or create the directory where you want to store beestream. From inside that directory, issue the following command:

git clone <beestream git repo link>

Beestream should now download.

4. Installing Dependencies

Change your working directory to the beestream folder you cloned in step 3. From within the beestream folder execute the following command:

npm install

This will take a little while, we have quite a few packages to install. Once it has completed, you've successfully installed all dependencies!

5. Next Step

Now that Beestream has been installed, you probably want to take a look at the page Setting up and Configuring Beestream. This page will walk you through the configurations you need to make before you start Beestream for the first time.
