Install Script

Under most Linux/UNIX like environments (Linux, BSD, OS X, …) new users can simply execute the install.sh script to get everything up and running. Cut + paste the following into your terminal:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/master/misc/install.sh | bash

Caution

You may wish to review the installation script on GitHub before running it!

The script will install nvm, Node.js and grab the latest ENiGMA BBS from GitHub. It will also guide you through creating a basic configuration file, and recommend some packages to install.

Note

After installing:

• Read External Binaries
• Read Upgrading
• If you plan to run ENiGMA½ as a long-running service (systemd, etc.), read Production Installation — there are gotchas around PATH and version managers like mise that you’ll want to know about up front.

Once it finishes, test your installation.
