<h1 class="page-title">Manual Installation</h1>
<p>For Linux environments its recommended you run the <a href="/enigma-bbs/installation/install-script.html">install script</a>. If you like to
do things manually, read on…</p>
<h2 id="prerequisites">Prerequisites</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://nodejs.org/">Node.js</a> version <strong>v14.x LTS or higher</strong>. Versions under v14 are known not to work due to language level changes.
<ul>
<li>
<img class="emoji" title=":bulb:" alt=":bulb:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f4a1.png" height="20" width="20"> It is <strong>highly</strong> recommended to use <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm">Node Version Manager (NVM)</a> to manage your Node.js installation if youre on a Linux/Unix environment.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Python</a> for compiling Node.js packages with native extensions via <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">node-gyp</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A compiler such as Clang or GCC for Linux/UNIX systems or a recent copy of Visual Studio
(<a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx">Visual Studio Express</a> editions
are OK) for Windows users. Note that you <strong>should only need the Visual C++ component</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://git-scm.com/downloads">Git</a> to check out the ENiGMA source code.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="nodejs">Node.js</h2>
<h3 id="with-nvm">With NVM</h3>
<p>Node Version Manager (NVM) is an excellent way to install and manage Node.js versions on most UNIX-like environments. <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm">Get the latest version here</a>. The nvm install may look <em>something</em> like this:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>curl <span class="nt">-o-</span> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
</code></pre></div></div>
<blockquote>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> Do not cut+paste the above command! Visit the <a href="https://github.com/creationix/nvm">NVM</a> page and run the latest version!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Next, install Node.js with NVM:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>nvm <span class="nb">install </span>14
nvm use 14
nvm <span class="nb">alias </span>default 14
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>If the above steps completed without errors, you should now have <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">nvm</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">node</code>, and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">npm</code> installed and in your environment.</p>
<p>For Windows nvm-like systems exist (<a href="https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows">nvm-windows</a>, …) or <a href="https://nodejs.org/en/download/">just download the installer</a>.</p>
<h2 id="enigma-bbs">ENiGMA BBS</h2>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>git clone https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs.git
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2 id="install-node-packages">Install Node Packages</h2>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nb">cd </span>enigma-bbs
npm <span class="nb">install</span> <span class="c"># yarn also works</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<h2 id="other-recommended-packages">Other Recommended Packages</h2>
<p>ENiGMA BBS makes use of a few packages for archive and legacy protocol support. Theyre not pre-requisites for running ENiGMA, but without them youll miss certain functionality. Once installed, they should be made available on your systems <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">PATH</code>.</p>

</blockquote>
<h2 id="config-files">Config Files</h2>
<p>Youll need a basic configuration to get started. The main system configuration is handled via <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config/config.hjson</code>. This is an <a href="http://hjson.org/">HJSON</a> file (compliant JSON is also OK). See <a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/hjson.html">Configuration</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Use <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">oputil.js</code> to generate your <strong>initial</strong> configuration:</p>
<div class="language-bash highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>./oputil.js config new
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Follow the prompts!</p>
