PushBits is a real-time web application framework built on top of node.js, which helps you build applications that are scalable, and can handle a large number of users on a single server. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing PushBits on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before proceeding further, make sure you have the following prerequisites on your system:
To install Node.js and Git, run the following command:
sudo zypper install nodejs git
This command will install Node.js and Git along with their dependencies.
Next, clone the PushBits repository using the following command:
git clone git://github.com/pushbits/server.git
This command will download the PushBits repository to your system.
Before we can start the PushBits server, we need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the PushBits directory and run the following command:
cd server && sudo npm install
This command will install all of the required dependencies for the PushBits server.
Finally, we can start the PushBits server using the following command:
sudo node server.js
Once the server is started, you can access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps required to install PushBits on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can test your PushBits installation, and start building real-time web applications.
