Manual Installation

Follow these steps for a manual installation of Our Product on your server. This method provides the most control over the setup process.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • A compatible operating system (Linux, macOS).
  • Node.js (version 16 or higher) installed.
  • npm or Yarn package manager.
  • A web server like Nginx or Apache (optional, for production).

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Download:

Download the latest release archive from our Downloads page.

2. Extract:

Extract the downloaded archive to your desired installation directory.

tar -xzf our-product-v1.2.3.tar.gz
cd our-product-v1.2.3
3. Install Dependencies:

Install the necessary project dependencies using your package manager.

npm install

or

yarn install
4. Configure:

Copy the example configuration file and customize it for your environment.

cp config.example.js config.js

Edit the config.js file with your database credentials, port numbers, etc.

5. Build:

Build the production-ready assets.

npm run build

or

yarn build
6. Start:

Start the application.

node server.js

For production environments, consider using a process manager like PM2 to keep your application running.

Docker Installation

Using Docker simplifies the installation process by packaging the application and its dependencies. Recommended for quick setup and development.

Steps:

1. Ensure Docker is Installed:

Make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.

2. Get Docker Compose File:

Download the docker-compose.yml file from our repository.

wget https://github.com/your-org/our-product/blob/main/docker-compose.yml

(Note: Replace with actual URL to docker-compose.yml if available)

3. Build and Run:

Navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file and run:

docker-compose up -d

This will download the necessary images, create containers, and start the application in the background.

Access the application via http://localhost:3000 (or the port specified in your docker-compose.yml).

Using a Package Manager

If Our Product is available through a system package manager, this is the most straightforward way to install and manage it.

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
