To learn more about configuration, usage and features of The Lounge, take a look at [the website](https://thelounge.chat).
|
|
|
|
The Lounge is the official and community-managed fork of [Shout](https://github.com/erming/shout), by [Mattias Erming](https://github.com/erming).
|
|
|
|
## Installation and usage
|
|
|
|
The Lounge requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v6 or more recent.
|
|
[Yarn package manager](https://yarnpkg.com/) is also recommended.
|
|
If you want to install with npm, `--unsafe-perm` is required for a correct install.
|
|
|
|
### Running stable releases using Yarn (recommended)
|
|
|
|
Run this in a terminal to install (or upgrade) the latest stable release from
|
|
[npm registry](https://www.npmjs.com/):
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yarn global add thelounge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you already have The Lounge installed globally, use the following command to update it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
yarn global upgrade thelounge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When installation is complete, run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
thelounge start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, read the [documentation](https://thelounge.chat/docs/), [wiki](https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge/wiki), or run:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
thelounge --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running from source
|
|
|
|
The following commands install and run the development version of The Lounge:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge.git
|
|
cd thelounge
|
|
yarn install
|
|
NODE_ENV=production yarn build
|
|
yarn start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When installed like this, `thelounge` executable is not created. Use `node index <command>` to run commands.
|
|
|
|
⚠️ While it is the most recent codebase, this is not production-ready! Run at
|
|
your own risk. It is also not recommended to run this as root.
|
|
|
|
## Development setup
|
|
|
|
Simply follow the instructions to run The Lounge from source above, on your own
|
|
fork.
