Setup

1. Install Node.js, Redis, and MongoDB

Install Node.js with npm if not already installed. This tutorial works best in Ubuntu virtual environments.

$ yum install gcc
$ yum install gcc-c++

Use a batch script or apt-get to install MongoDB and Redis

$ sudo chmod +x ./dependencies.sh
$ sudo bash ./dependencies.sh

Note that this script might install older versions of MongoDB and Redis.

Now setup Mongodb with a local admin and so that Node.JS can connect.

$ mongo
use admin
db.createUser({user:"supermongo", pwd:"SuperSecureKey", roles: [ { role: "userAdminAnyDatabase", db: "admin" } ]});
db.auth({user:"supermongo", pwd:"SuperSecureKey"});
use binarybtc
db.addUser("nodemongo", "MongoPassword")

2. Create the necessary key file keys.json

Edit the default keys.json file and edit the following options as they are required for proper operation.

$ nano keys.json

{
	"authy": "AuthyDeveloperOrProductionAPIKey",
	"coin": "AnExtraLongPasswordForBackendBitcoinAPIAccess",
	"cookie": "ACustomCookieHash6132629810",
	"mongo": "mongodb://nodemongo:MongoPassword@localhost/binarybtc",
	"redis": "MasterRedisPasswordConfigSomethingLong",
	"send": "MasterAdminKeyToSendMoney",
    "btcrpc": {
        "user": "bitcoin",
        "password": "ThatBitcoinRemoteAccessKey"
	},
	"stripe": { 
		"secret": "sk_test_Stripe.com_PaymentAPI",
		"publishable": "pk_test_Stripe.com_PaymentAPI" 
	},
	"ssl": {
		"ca": "/home/ubuntu/keys/domain.ca.pem",
		"cert": "/home/ubuntu/keys/domain.crt.pem",
		"key": "/home/ubuntu/keys/server.key"
	}
}

3. Install NodeJS both locally and remotely to start the servers

If you already have Node and NPM installed, start the server with node binarybtc.js or nodemon

If you need to install Node.Js, run these commands.

$ sudo apt-get install npm
$ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.24.1/install.sh | bash
$ nvm install 0.10.25
$ npm install -g forever
$ npm install -g nodemon

$ sudo npm install
$ sudo npm update
     
$ nodemon binarybtc.js

Connect to the webserver at http://localhost:8080/

Troubleshooting

Diagnosing any errors the console may output is important.

Common Errors

Missing, undefined, or unknown Node_Modules plugins

• Run the NPM installer again sudo npm install or sudo npm update
• Try installing missing Node modules manually by finding the name in the error:
  • ...Missing required module 'object-manage'
  • Run sudo npm install object-manage

Could not connect to MongoDB

• Use mongo in the console to check if MongoDB is correctly installed.
• Refer to section 1 to create a MongoDB collection with a user and password
• Add the correct username and password as a MongoDB link inside keys.json
  • mongo: "mongodb://[user]:[pass]@localhost/[collection]",

Redis connection errors

• Make sure redis-server is installed and running by using top in the console.
• Check your Redis config file sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf for an authentication password
• Open keys.json and edit the Redis password line
  • "redis": "RedisMasterPassword",
