Installation

1. Install Git (if you don't have it already) and clone this repository:

   sudo apt install git
   git clone https://github.com/PetrusTryb/portcms/

2. Install Node.js (if you don't have it already) and install dependencies:

   sudo apt install nodejs npm
   npm install

3. Run npm run dev to start the development server. If everything went well, you should see the website with following message:

   Database connection error.
   

4. That means that all you need to do is to configure the database.
   • Go to https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas/register and create an account.
   • Create a new project and click on "Build a database" button. Select "Shared" and click on "Create" button. Pick any region that is close to you. Give Your cluster a name and click on "Create Cluster" button.
   • Set up your database user. Give it a username and password and click on "Add User" button. Then add your IP address to the whitelist and click on "Add IP Address" button. Finally, click on "Finish and Close" button.
   • On the left side of the screen, click on "Connect" button. Then click on "Connect Your Application" button. Copy the connection string and paste it into .env file (replace with password to Your newly created database account).
5. Run npm run dev again. If everything went well, you should see the website with following message:

   PortCMS is not installed.
   

6. That means that all you need to do is to install the CMS. Follow the instructions on the screen, and you should be good to go.

🚧 Note

It may take a while for the database to be created. If you see the message "Database connection error" for a long time, just wait a bit and try restarting the server.
