Warning for express.createServer

Hello, i'm also new wih this scrumblr, but i manage to run it on my ubuntu 14.04, i assume you already installed node.js and redis per aliasaria instruction, but i will share my installation step below, cause it easier.

1. install redis via terminal: sudo apt-get install redis-server
2. install node.js and npm via terminal: sudo apt-get install nodejs npm (you can also install nodejs-legacy to develop legacy nodejs)
3. extract scrumblr you downloaded from git-hub (mine is /home/scrumblr)
4. go to scrumblr folder and run "npm install -d" via terminal (you don't have to change anything on package.json cause it will install the dependencies instead)
5. run redis via terminal: redis-server
6. run scrumblr via terminal: sudo node server.js 81 (mine is port 81 cause i have anoher apps running on my port 80, but you can choose other port instead, and don't forget using sudo, cause to bind something to ports you will need admin or root priviledge)
7. go to your browser and open http://localhost:81 (you can use your binded port instead)

Thank you, hope it helps.

PS: why i used npm install -d instead of npm install, cause it also download and install dependencies, as you know this apps need specific "express" and "node.js", i assume aliasaria used express ver 2.x by the time he wrote this apps, and now the latest build of express is 4.x (which default installation package on latest ubuntu), in the new version of express, method createServer() and also some other methods already deprecated, that's why you cannot run the apps. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Hello Muhammad,

Those instructions look like what I did. I'll not have to try them again because a friend of mine wrote a docker integration that sets everything up in a flash all by itself. We are currently testing it and documentation will come on how to install it: https://github.com/jsflimflam/docker-scrumblr

Cheers

Okay, you're welcome, maybe i'll check the docker-scrumblr you mention.

Cheers.
