How do I run rocketchat locally? I am stuck here for 2 days. I made a clone of the github repository at Rocket Chat and tried the manual steps here at installation steps. But how do I start the server? I have installed mongodb.

  • @fvu I don't think, there is an issue. I am not getting the starting point:) – helloJSON Feb 03 '17 at 14:52

    You're neither programming nor developing rocketchat, so SO is **not** the right place for your question... – fvu Feb 03 '17 at 14:53

Well after cloning the repository, you need to install the dependencies of Rocket Chat with the command:

npm install

This command should be run from programs/server folder. After that export these bash variables as mentioned in the install guide:

export ROOT_URL=http://your-host-name.com-as-accessed-from-internet:3000/
export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/rocketchat
export PORT=3000

Then go to the main Rocket Chat directory and run the command: node main.js

After that your Rocket Chat should be running on port 3000
