Installation & Deployment

Requirements

• PostgreSQL (unless you choose SQLite; See below).
• Node >=14
• NPM

Using SQLite

To use a local SQLite database, perform the following steps.

1. In prisma/schema.prisma, replace provider = "postgresql" with provider = "sqlite".
2. In prisma/schema.prisma, remove all instances of @db.Text because PostgreSQL and SQLite have different column definitions for string.
3. In .env, set DATABASE_URL to file:./db.sqlite.

Installation & Running Dev Server

You may perform the following commands to run the dev web server.

# Clone respository.
git clone https://github.com/bestmods/bestmods.git

# Change directory.
cd bestmods

# Update and install NPM packages.
npm update
npm install

# Migrate database.
npx prisma db push

# Run dev server.
npm run dev

Production

To run in production, you can use the npx next build command to build the web application. Make sure to add output: "standalone" to the config variable in next.config.mjs.

With that said, you may then run node server.js.
