INSTALLATION

Debian/Ubuntu

These are instructions for running bustabit locally on a Debian / Ubuntu machine.

Distribution packages

You will need to install the Postgres DBMS and node.js. The nodejs-legacy package installs nodejs but will additionally create a symlink from /usr/bin/node to /usr/bin/nodejs.

sudo apt-get install git npm postgresql nodejs-legacy

Getting the sources

git clone https://github.com/moneypot/bustabit-webserver.git
cd bustabit-webserver

Create a database user and setup the tables

Create a user. It will prompt you for a password.

sudo -u postgres createuser -P bustabit

Create the database and setup the tables. The second command will prompt you for the password again.

sudo -u postgres createdb -O bustabit bustabitdb
psql -W -U bustabit -d bustabitdb -h localhost -f server/schema.sql
