The instructions below are for developers building on Linux. We have separate installation instructions for Mac users and Windows users.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++ make git python-is-python3 npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
The following instructions should be similar for Mac, Windows and the broader audience of Linux users; if you are not using Ubuntu, substitute in your package manager where appropriate.
git clone https://github.com/saitotech/saito-lite-rust
cd saito-lite-rust
npm install
Note: If npm fails to install a module, you may need to install python-is-python3.
On Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-is-python3
npm run nuke
npm start
If after a few moments with no errors a large Saito ASCII Logo appears on screen, move on to the next step.
If you do see an error, it is common that errors at this stage are related to your NodeJS install, be sure each of the dependencies is properly installed.
Once you have run npm start it will take a few moments for the Saito software to initialize and start. You will eventually see an animated Saito logo scroll across your terminal. Once that is done simply open a browser and visit:
To visit your Saito instance on your VPS:
http://<your_server_ip>:12101
Any changes can be compiled with npm run nuke. The final compiled file will rest in config/options.
