Running it locally

Installing NodeJS

Debian based distributions:

Start by running apt updates and downloading and updated NodeJS installer (offial distro repositories usually outdated):

apt update
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

This will install the nvm script to your user account. To use it, you must first source your .bashrc file:

source ~/.bash_profile

Now, check which versions of NodeJS are available:

nvm list-remote

I recommend using one of the LTS: Fermium releases since this is what this fork was tested on:

nvm install v14.17.4
OR
nvm install lts/fermium

Verify that you’ve installed the new version by running node with the -v version flag:

node -v

Arch based distributions:

pacman -S nodejs

Downloading the repository

git clone https://github.com/MarcelKaemper/HackergameV2.git

Get an API key from finnhub.io

Create an account at https://finnhub.io/ to get a free API key to get access to live stock information.

Create database and secret.js file

Create the file public/javascripts/functions/secret.js and fill in the credentials to your database.
You can create a basic structure of the database with the file in db/db_structure_##.sql

Example secret.js

module.exports = {
    _DB: {
        _HOST: "",
        _USER: "",
        _PASSWORD: "",
        _DATABASE: "",
    },
    _API: {
        _KEY: "" # https://finnhub.io/ API_KEY
    }
}

Run the server:

npm install  
node bin/www  
OR
pm2 start bin/www

Run the server:
