Installing NodeBB on Ubuntu

YaBoiLewis

Please assist me within 24 hours on how to fix.

This is a community forum not a paid tech support, regardless you seem to be not in the nodebb installation folder, go to the installation folder and then run npm start

Hi,

I was not saying this is a paid support. I was just saying that I needed help real quick, sorry if it was misunderstood.

The main reason I am asking for help is that I am nowhere experienced in Linux commands. Although, I am experienced in other coding languages, Linux is not the one. Please give me commands to enter so I can go in the NodeBB Installation Folder.

Thanks,
Lewis

@YaBoiLewis you will need to use cd followed by your nodebb folder name

example: cd nodebb

@YaBoiLewis Yes you can now open a web browser and type the address shown to start the configuration.

Hi,

Is it the address of the Ubuntu Server or 0.0.0.0:4567?

charles

@YaBoiLewis You can try 0.0.0.0:4567 or localhost:4567. Both should work.

Hi,

This is not running on my local machine. It's running on a server hosted by a company. How do I access then? As much as I know is that localhost is for your own machine (stated on your IP Address).

charles

@YaBoiLewis you will need to replace it with the server ip or domain

example: 8.8.8.8:4567 or www.example.com:4567

hello, there are a lot of painful things with installation from standart packets.
I found easier way to install nodebb, but i don't know is it correct way or not, but nodebb works fine:

install redis from official website & nodebb too
install git / other important libraries from official documentation
git clone nodebb repo to any folder to another user
run nodejs & node app --setup
enter all data correctly
have fun

Hi,

As much as I'd like to say this was helpful, it wasn't. The most help I got was from the guy who told me how to open the folder.

With that being said, I am nowhere near. The main cause of this is probably me and I blame myself for that. I will be now hoping to get an Ubuntu Server from HostingItAll, and they will be helping me set up NodeBB!

Thanks for all that you guys could do.
