How to set-up showdown in Linux

Prerequisites:

1. Terminal / SSH Acess: putty (for vps) or Terminal if operating linux

2. GIT (documentation)

3. Node.js (documentation) (you will need to install git first)

Steps:

1. Clone: git clone https://github.com/zarel/pokemon-showdown && cd pokemon-showdown

2. Install Modules: npm install

3. Config: cd config && cp config-example.js config.js

4. Edit Config: Now you can edit config.js with nano or ed. Nano is easier to use but might not be pre-installed like ed

5. Usergroups: You might want to give yourself Administrator in your server, to do so: echo "USER,~" >> usergroups.csv (replace USER with the person you want as admin)

6. Start: cd - && node app.js

7. Now you can access your server at ip:port

Tips:

1. In this way, the server will go offline after you close your terminal window or ssh cleint, so you can use nohup, forever or screen.

2. You can update your server for latest changes using the /updateserver command
