Installation

These instructions are for use with the AWS Webservers via WinSCP and PuTTy. If you wish to use them without these, you will need to manually install screens onto your Ubuntu 18.04 server along with the rest of the dependencies.

Install Node.JS and NPM on a server running Ubuntu 18.04

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm

Clone the bot onto your server via the following command

git clone "https://github.com/phantomdev-github/Guardian.git"

CD to the bot directory

cd ~/Guardian

Install the base dependencies

npm -i

Install the devDeependencies

npm -i nodemon --run-dev

[If you are not still in the bot directory, CD into it before progressing any further]

Launch a screens window

screen -S Guardian

now run the bot

npm run start

to run the bot in dev mode use

npm run dev

If all went well the bot should but up and running.

You can now close the screens window with

ctrl+a+d

and finally exit the terminal with

exit

The bot will continue to run in screens without needing the user to keep it active.

If you ever need to get back int the screen window, you can do so with

screen -R Guardian

If you have issues with screens you can use the following command to kill the PhantomGuard screen process

screen -S -X Guardian quit
