Setup

Here are the steps to setup your own dana server.

Requirements

As a requirement, you need to have node.js installed on your machine. See nodejs download.

Instructions for Mac/Linux

First, install dependent node modules

$ npm install

Second, you need to create a configs directory. The database and temporary dana working files will be created in this directory.

$ mkdir configs

Then, you have to create a configs/dana.js file that will provide

• adminUser property to specify the login, password and email of the administrator of your dana server.
• server property to specify the ip and port to use from the browser

This file should be like this:

module.exports = {
  adminUser: {
    login: 'admin',
    password: 'admin',
    email: 'youremail@google.com'
  },
  server: {
    ip:'localhost',
    port: 7000
  }
}

You're ready to run the server :)

Note you need to add some pages for the projects. See adding project pages to know how to add pages to the dashboard for a project).

To start the server, there are two options:

$ node src/server.js
or
$ npm start

Configure email account

Dana provides a way to use a gmail account to send emails using Gmail APIs. Follow these steps to get clientsecret.json and gmail-credentials.json. Then put these 2 files in configs/ directory and restart Dana server.
