## Building SVR.JS
|
||
|
||
To build SVR.JS, you need Node.JS 18.0.0 or newer.
|
||
|
||
Before building SVR.JS, install the npm packages using this command:
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
```
|
||
After installing the packages, build SVR.JS with this command:
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm run build
|
||
```
|
||
After running the command, you will get bundled SVR.JS script, around with built-in utilities and assets in the `dist` directory. You will also get a zip archive in `out` directory, that can be installed using SVR.JS installer
|
||
|
||
## Installation (built from source)
|
||
|
||
To install SVR.JS you just built from the source code, you can install it via SVR.JS installer for GNU/Linux or manually.
|
||
|
||
If you want to install SVR.JS manually, you can read the [server documentation](https://svrjs.org/docs/tentative).
|
||
|
||
If you want to install via SVR.JS installer for GNU/Linux, run this command:
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -fsSL https://downloads.svrjs.org/installer/svr.js.installer.linux.20240509.sh > /tmp/installer.sh && sudo bash /tmp/installer.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You will be then prompted about the type of installation. Choose option “2” to install SVR.JS from the zip archive, and type in the path to the zip archive (hint: it is in the `out` directory).
|
||
|
||
After typing the path, you may be prompted to install dependencies via GNU/Linux distribution’s package manager. Proceed with the installation of dependencies.
|
||
|
||
After installation, SVR.JS should be listening at http://localhost.
|
||
|
||
## SVR.JS documentation
|
||
|
||
You can read the [SVR.JS documentation](https://svrjs.org/docs/tentative) to get information on how to use SVR.JS.
|
||
|
||
## npm scripts
|
||
|
||
- To build SVR.JS along with the zip archive, run `npm run build`.
|
||
- To check SVR.JS code for errors with ESLint, run `npm run lint`.
|
||
- To fix and beautify SVR.JS code with ESLint and Prettier, run `npm run lint:fix`.
|
||
- To run SVR.JS from the "dist" folder, run `npm start`.
|
||
- To test SVR.JS itself, run `npm run dev`. This removes existing configuration.
|
||
- To perform unit tests with Jest, run `npm test`.
|
||
|
||
