Setup Instructions

This page will guide you through the different ways to Setup and use DeClash.

#Security Warning!: If you run DeClash on the default meteor.com website, it doesn't provide HTTPS encryption so use at your own risk! Running locally (offline) is fine.

##Option 1: Use the default website

• You can use declash.meteor.com
• Pros: No setup necessary. Get all the advantages of hosting on the Internet, such as users can register online, view the information for a round online etc.
• Cons: It's a free server provided by Meteor, performance is not guaranteed. Less admin control over the underlying database.

##Option 2: Spin up your own instance of DeClash

• Once you spin up your own instance, you can choose to deploy it to the internet or not.
• Steps:
  1. Install Meteor
  2. Either git clone DeClash (if you're familiar with git) or just download as zip (found on the right side).
  3. Unzip it to a folder.
  4. Open the command prompt and cd to the same directory as the '.meteor' folder (not inside it)
  5. To host DeClash on the internet using meteor's server (This is pretty much the same as Option 1 but you can use your own site name):
  6. In the command prompt, type meteor deploy (yoursitename).meteor.com without brackets.
  7. Within a few minutes, it should be done and you can use DeClash on the browser.
  8. To have DeClash just running on your machine (not connected to the internet)
  9. In the command prompt, type meteor
  10. Wait a few minutes for everything to load, then go to your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000
  11. You can also choose to host Meteor on your preferred Cloud provider, but I will not cover it here.
