The following installation instructions are for a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
- Get Node.js 4.4.4:
wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs
git clone https://www.github.com/lahuang4/crosstalk
cd crosstalk
- Install the required Node packages:
npm install
- If you'd like to run the directory on your own machine, change the corresponding directory IP address in server/server.js and run the directory:
nodejs directory/directory.js
- Start the server (in another window, if you're running the directory as well):
nodejs server/server.js
- Start the client GUI in another window:
npm start
- Now you can open up the GUI at http://localhost:3000, and start chatting!
