Is my NodeBB installation correct?

@himadree I'm not seeing an issue, when you ran the setup, you created an admin username and password, in the top right, you can see Register & Login, click Login, enter the admin username and password you created during setup.

You will then be able to post. The categories you are seeing are default categories which can be removed and changed in the Admin Control Panel.

@himadree I don't see why not

[himadree]

@julian How ? if i write any plugin in local mechin http://127.0.0.1:4567/ then how will this plugin goes to NodeBB ??

[a_5mith]

@himadree Your plugin doesn't connect to nodebb per se. You'd make your plugin, upload it into something like github, then clone it into your node_modules folder.

When it works, if you want to publish it, you would use npm adduser, create an account through that, then npm publish <plugin name>

@a_5mith it really helps a lot. Do u know any resource or links where this thing u said is explain (i mean how to upload created plugins like u said)?

@a_5mith this link is good for NPM . Do you know any links on step by step way to create plugin on NodeBB?

[a_5mith]

@himadree Depends what plugin you want to create, but this is the official documentation - https://docs.nodebb.org/en/latest/plugins/create.html
