| # 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](https://nodejs.org/en/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](bot.js.md) | |
| ### Create project directory | |
| See [how to create a project](project.md) | |
| ### 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](http://pcarion.com/2015/12/06/How-to-send-a-mail-in-node-using-the-gmail-API.html) to get **clientsecret.json** and **gmail-credentials.json**. Then put these 2 files in **configs/** directory and restart Dana-bot server. | |
