Installation

1) Node.js

manylines runs on Node.js. If you do not have it installed yet, refer to its website.

2) Couchbase

If you do not have an instance of Couchbase running, you'll have to install one or decide to work on a Mock and skip this step. Note that in Mock mode, graphs will be deleted when the application stops.
