Step 1: Update Your Server

Before we begin, it’s essential to ensure that your server is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

This command will update the package list and upgrade any outdated packages on your server.

Step 2: Install Node.js and npm

Accent is built on Node.js, so we need to install it on our server. Run the following command to install Node.js and npm:

sudo apt install nodejs npm -y

After the installation is complete, you can verify that Node.js and npm are installed by running the following commands:

node -v
npm -v

These commands should return the installed versions of Node.js and npm.

Step 3: Install MongoDB

Accent uses MongoDB to store its data. You can install MongoDB by running the following command:

sudo apt install mongodb -y

After the installation, you can start the MongoDB service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start mongodb

You can verify that MongoDB is running by checking its status:

sudo systemctl status mongodb

Step 4: Download and Install Accent

Next, we need to download and install Accent. You can download the latest version of Accent from their website:

wget https://accent.reviews/downloads/accent_x.xx.x.zip

Replace x.xx.x with the version number that you want to download.

After downloading, you can extract the zip file by running the following command:

unzip accent_x.xx.x.zip

This command will extract the contents of the zip file to a folder named accent.

Now, navigate to the accent folder and install the dependencies by running the following command:

cd accent
npm install

Step 5: Configure Accent

Before we can start using Accent, we need to configure it.

First, copy the sample config file:

cp config.sample.json config.json

Then, open the config.json file and update the values according to your setup:

• port: The port on which Accent will listen
• databaseUrl: The URL of your MongoDB installation
• smtpConfig: The configuration for sending emails (optional)

Save the config.json file after making the changes.
