We try to keep master branch stable and release patch versions from there, for example 3.1.6. Develop branch is for the next minor release (3.2.0) and contains new features. Major versions contain breaking changes ie 4.x
How to install NodeBB on windows local
-
NodeBB requires at least a VPS. We have not tested installation of it on shared providers, but if they can grant you ssh access, and can install the required dependencies, then I do not see why it would not work.
-
also, have a look here and see if this helps:

I want to install nodeBB. I've cloned the repository and when I type "node app.js --setup" says:
Error: Cannot find module 'nconf'

What can I do? -
thank you, @alexsir. It works but I have another error...

@catalin use
./nodebb setup
, notnode app --setup
-
@catalin yes you can. You just have to create a category for each group, and change the permissions for those categories so only the respective group can access, read, and write in it.

@pitaj But can this be done automatically by an api / plugin?
I mean:
I want to put this forum on my website. On my website I will have users who will register / log in.
These users on my site, will be divided into groups.- When a user registers, can I automatically do a nodebb account for him?
- Are there any api or plug-ins where the newly created user is automatically assigned to a group in nodebb (the same group that the user belongs to in my website)?
Something like: Automatically create the groups (from my website) in nodebb, automatically create the categories (with the same name as groups) and automatically give permissions to a group for a category.
Thanks!

@catalin you can automatically create nodebb accounts for accounts on your website. Look up "nodebb plugin session sharing".
Automating the rest of that though would require a custom plugin.
