Running your own server

• Download and unpack node

• Configure and build node

  ./configure
  make
  

• Link node executable to bin dir

  ln -sf $(readlink node) ~/bin/node

• Create npm script in ~/bin

  #!/bin/sh
  node "$HOME/node-v0.8.9/deps/npm/bin/npm-cli.js" "$@"
  

• In the source directory install ws module and dependencies (this will download and install ws and dependencies in node_modules/ sub-directory)

  npm install ws
  

• Run a normal web server to server the web files.

• Start the Node server (on port 8080)

  ./server.js
  

• Load the page. It will automatically connect to the same hostname at port 8080.

• To change the port you must change both server.js (server) and network.js (client).
