NodeBB Demo Admin?

[Sick]

If I could code, I definitely would.

Something tells me that I've stumbled into something that isn't quite user friendly. The UI and "forums" here are really nice, but I just tried to install it on my debian box and well... it leaves my no-so-admin smart self crying.

I tried to follow this tutorial:

Setting up a NodeBB Forum “for Dummies” | Burn after compiling

(burnaftercompiling.com)

Perhaps I need the "For dumbasses" version.

@Sick That's an old tutorial and it's for Ubuntu. Debian is here

Just change

$ git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb
to
$ git clone -b v0.6.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB.git nodebb

when you get to it.

NodeBB can also cover all that server administration business if you just want a forum. Link

Thanks for the shoutout (time for us to build a referral system)

Yeah I haven't updated my blog in months. I should! Sorry for misleading you, I wrote that a long time before we released proper documentation.

This community is really nice and supportive. How does one obtain "referrals' or whatever so you can post on other threads without waiting a long loads of time.
