@PitaJ Why does it appear to me it installs neither redis or mongo?

Hello there!
NodeBB is designed to work best under a virtual private server. Using a traditional hosting service is not recommended as they do not have the capabilities to power NodeBB effectively.
Thank you for your interest in NodeBB!
Heroku also has a free tier and it is the easiest setup I've found.
