Before You Begin

Before you begin we recommend you read about the basic building blocks that assemble a meanTorrent application:

• MongoDB - Go through MongoDB Official Website and proceed to their Official Manual, which should help you understand NoSQL and MongoDB better.
• Express - The best way to understand express is through its Official Website, which has a Getting Started guide, as well as an ExpressJS guide for general express topics. You can also go through this StackOverflow Thread for more resources.
• AngularJS - Angular's Official Website is a great starting point. You can also use Thinkster Popular Guide, and Egghead Videos.
• Node.js - Start by going through Node.js Official Website and this StackOverflow Thread, which should get you going with the Node.js platform in no time.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have installed all of the following prerequisites on your development machine:

• Git - Download & Install Git. OSX and Linux machines typically have this already installed.
• Node.js - Download & Install Node.js and the npm package manager. If you encounter any problems, you can also use this GitHub Gist to install Node.js.
• MongoDB - Download & Install MongoDB, and make sure it's running on the default port (27017).
• Bower - You're going to use the Bower Package Manager to manage your front-end packages. Make sure you've installed Node.js and npm first, then install bower globally using npm:

$ npm install -g bower

Downloading meanTorrent

There are several ways you can get the meanTorrent boilerplate:

Cloning The GitHub Repository

The recommended way to get meanTorrent is to use git to directly clone the meanTorrent repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/taobataoma/meanTorrent.git

This will clone the latest version of the meanTorrent repository to a meanTorrent folder.

Downloading The Repository Zip File

Another way to use the MEAN.JS boilerplate is to download a zip copy from the master branch on GitHub. You can also do this using the wget command:

$ wget https://github.com/taobataoma/meanTorrent/archive/master.zip -O meanTorrent.zip; unzip meanTorrent.zip; rm meanTorrent.zip

Don't forget to rename meanTorrent-master after your project name.

Quick Install

Once you've downloaded the boilerplate and installed all the prerequisites, you're just a few steps away from starting to develop your meanTorrent application.

The boilerplate comes pre-bundled with a package.json and bower.json files that contain the list of modules you need to start your application.

To install the dependencies, run this in the application folder from the command-line:

$ npm install

This command does a few things:

• First it will install the dependencies needed for the application to run.
• If you're running in a development environment, it will then also install development dependencies needed for testing and running your application.
• When the npm packages install process is over, npm will initiate a bower install command to install all the front-end modules needed for the application
• To update these packages later on, just run npm update

If install process show error info below:

../node-icu-charset-detector.cpp:7:28: fatal error: unicode/ucsdet.h: No such file or directory

then run this command to install libicu manual

apt-get install libicu-dev OR yum install libicu-devel

Running Your Application

Run your application using npm:

$ npm start

Your application should run on port 3000 with the development environment configuration, so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

That's it! Your application should be running. To proceed with your development, check the other sections in this documentation. If you encounter any problems, try the Troubleshooting section.

Explore config/env/development.js for development environment configuration options.

Running in Production mode

To run your application with production environment configuration:

$ npm run start:prod

Explore config/env/production.js for production environment configuration options.

Running with TLS (SSL)

Application will start by default with secure configuration (SSL mode) turned on and listen on port 8443. To run your application in a secure manner you'll need to use OpenSSL and generate a set of self-signed certificates. Unix-based users can use the following command:

$ npm run generate-ssl-certs

Windows users can follow instructions found here. After you've generated the key and certificate, place them in the config/sslcerts folder.

Finally, execute prod task npm run start:prod

• enable/disable SSL mode in production environment change the secure option in config/env/production.js
