[WIN7] How do you host a PS server?

FireRed · Aug 28th, 2012, 11:57:07 AM

I am currently running a 64-bit operation system on Windows 7, and I was wondering how do you make a PS server? I got the source files, but all the instructions are in Apple. Please help asap! :D

***Zarel**** · Aug 28th, 2012, 4:39:04 PM

The instructions are in POSIX, to be exact, and though I've never tried them myself, they should theoretically work on a Windows command line without any modifications.

Are you looking at these instructions?

I installed node.js and npm (by default) but the node command doesnt work on Command Prompt or Node.js. :(

Well, I don't have a very good idea of what to do, then. Try opening app.js with Node?

This link worked for me. I wonder why yours got stuck with Apple.

Hey zarel, I was looking at the link and it looked like it was made for Linux, would I be right in making that assumption? That those instructions work well for Linux distros also?

As I said: the instructions are for POSIX.

POSIX is a family of operating systems that includes Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, Unix, etc...

Perfect.
However when i do npm install in terminal it gives me several errors.

Edit: I fixed some of the errors however where would I find and set up SockJS?

***Zarel**** · Jan 21st, 2013, 10:45:23 PM

SockJS should be automatically installed when you run npm install.

The error message you PMed me makes me believe there's something wrong with npm's servers; it should work if you try again tomorrow.

Where are you typing that in? o_O

You should be typing it into a commandline with Pokemon Showdown's directory as its working directory.

Also, npm install goes first. :P
