Mac

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew install mysql
brew services start mysql

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

git clone https://github.com/codyromano/brooks-server.git

The following SQL dumps create a brooks database and a brooksadmin user. Additionally, they create and populate an articles table.

cd brooks-server
mysql -u root -p < database/setup.sql
mysql -u root -p < database/brooks.sql

Development

Run npm start to start the API server.

Production

To run the server permanently, use screen and forever. (I know there are easier ways to do this, but this works for now.)

Note: You may need to change the paths depending on where your npm and brooks-server are installed.

npm install -g forever
screen
/usr/bin/forever start /usr/bin/npm start --prefix /root/brooks-server

If the server address is in use, find the process id using this command:

netstat -tulpn | grep :9980

Try:

• http://localhost:9980/article/id/1
• http://localhost:9980/article/id/2
• http://localhost:9980/table-of-contents/
