Requirements

• [Node.js] We recommend using nvm to get a proper Node.js installation, so that node is tied to your user privileges thus preventing any security issues resulting from the use of the root user (or sudo):

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 8

• [PM2] We also strongly recommend you install PM2 to manage your Node.js processes. It will restart your processes if they crash.

npm install -g pm2

Install the VISEO Bot Maker

The VISEO Bot Maker relies on a set of Node-RED modules (this repo) already deployed on NPM and used by a core project and a bot project.

At the end of the installation, you should have your folders organized according to the opposite tree structure.

# install the framework

mkdir ~/bots && cd ~/bots
git clone https://github.com/NGRP/node-red-viseo-bot.git framework
cd framework
git checkout v0.1.0
npm install

The framework folder will contain :

• conf : configuration files for Node-RED and the framework
• node_modules : all the installed nodes (node-red-viseo-contrib and packages)
• start.sh or start.bat is used to launch any bot when configured
• package.json contains all the targeted nodes
• ...
