title: Installation From Source
|
|
permalink: /docs/install/source/
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This provides information on how to setup the application from source. Note that
|
|
this is not recommended for production deploys, but will work for development
|
|
and testing purposes.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
There are some runtime requirements for running Talk from source:
|
|
|
|
- [Node](https://nodejs.org/) ~7.8
|
|
- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) ^0.22.0
|
|
|
|
_Please be sure to check the versions of these requirements. Incorrect versions
|
|
of these may lead to unexpected errors!_
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
### Download
|
|
|
|
It is highly recommended that you download a released version as the code
|
|
available in `master` may not be stable. You can download the latest release
|
|
from the [releases page](https://github.com/coralproject/talk/releases).
|
|
|
|
You can also clone the git repository via:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/coralproject/talk.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
We now have to install the dependencies and build the static assets.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install package dependencies
|
|
yarn
|
|
|
|
# Build static files
|
|
yarn build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you create/modify the `plugins.json` (refer to `PLUGINS.md` for plugin
|
|
docs) file, you can re-run the following to install their dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Reconcile plugins
|
|
./bin/cli plugins reconcile
|
|
|
|
# Build static files
|
|
yarn build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [configuration](https://coralproject.github.io/talk/docs/running/configuration/) page for required configuration variables to add to the
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
You can start the server after configuring the server using the command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will setup the server to serve everything on a single node.js process and
|
|
is designed to be used in production.
|
|
|
|
You can see other scripts we've made available by consulting the `package.json`
|
|
file under the `scripts` key including:
|
|
|
|
- `yarn test` run unit tests
|
|
- `yarn build-watch` watch for changes to client files and build static assets
|
|
- `yarn dev-start` watch for changes to server files and reload the server while
|
|
also sourcing a `.env` file in your local directory for configuration
|
