Setup

Here are the steps to setup your own dana-bot server.

Requirements

As a requirement, you need to have node.js installed on your machine. See nodejs download.

Instructions for Mac/Linux

Install modules

First, install dependent node modules

$ npm install

Create config directory

Second, you need to create a configs directory. The database and temporary dana-bot working files will be created in this directory.

$ mkdir configs

Create bot.js configuration file

See how to create bot.js configuration file

Create project directory

See how to create a project

Run

You're ready to run the server :)

To start the server, there are two options:

$ node src/server.js
or
$ npm start

dana-bot has a web interface on the port defined in bot.js configuration file. Just open it using the url http://config.ip:config.port (for example http://localhost:5051/)

Configure email account

Dana-bot provides a way to use a gmail account to send emails using Gmail APIs. Follow these steps to get clientsecret.json and gmail-credentials.json. Then put these 2 files in configs/ directory and restart Dana-bot server.
