Getting Started

To get started,

Make sure you have node.js, npm and mongoDB installed on your system.
If you don't have node.js and npm on your system, you can get it by just heading over to nodejs.org and then downloading and installing the appropriate node.js for your system. npm gets installed with node.js and so, you don't have to worry about it.
If you don't have mongoDB on your system, you can get it by just heading over to mongodb.com and then downloading and installing the appropriate mongoDB for your system.
To check the version of node.js, just type node --version and hit enter in a console.
To check the version of npm, just type npm --version and hit enter in a console.
To check the version of mongoDB, just type mongo --version and hit enter in a console.

Now that you are done with setting up the system,

Start the mongoDB by using the command sudo service mongod start in a console.
Go to Auction Away Releases and choose the release you want and copy the address to the tar file.
Assume the link looks something like this https://github.com/s-xync/auction-away/archive/v1.0.2.tar.gz
Download the file using wget https://github.com/s-xync/auction-away/archive/v1.0.2.tar.gz
Now open a terminal and unzip the file using tar xvzf v1.0.2.tar.gz
Enter the unzipped directory using cd auction-away-1.0.2
Run the command npm install to install all the node module dependencies for the project. This may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.
After that, run the command npm start and head on over to localhost:3000 or any other host:port.
