Installation

Hi

I was wondering if there is a detailed step by step installtion process available. I'm a bit of a newbie

There isn't really any official installation tutorial available, but here are the rough steps you need to do:

Setup the server and client machines

They should both have nodejs and yarn installed. They can be the same machine also. If on Raspbian, you can just do sudo apt-get install nodejs.

Install the server component

Start it up, and make sure you can reach the server via web browser and that the cron process is running and is updating posts.

Install the client component

Doesn't need to be this client, any client / website that can read the server API is fine.

Build it, and serve it via a web server. Check that it fetches the posts from the server correctly.

If you are using a Raspberry Pi, I recommend using something like FullPageOS, that way the RPI will automatically open that website on boot.
