Prerequisites:
Meteor automatically installs a hidden NodeJS v8, Python v2.7 and MongoDB v3.6 to be used when you run your app in development mode using the
meteorcommand.
Now just clone and start the app:
git clone https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.git
cd Rocket.Chat
meteor npm install
meteor npm startTo debug the server part, use meteor debugging. You should use Chrome for best debugging experience:
meteor debugYou'll find a nodejs icon in the developer console.
If you are not a developer and just want to run the server - see deployment methods.
It is based on Gitflow Workflow, reference section below is derived from Vincent Driessen at nvie.
See also this Git Workflows Comparison for more details.
We are experimenting with Lingohub. If you want to help, send an email to support at rocket.chat to be invited to the translation project.
