Instructions for hosting the editor yourself
Note that the editor can be downloaded and run like a native app.
This is a tutorial for setting up the back-end/server only (which can then be accessed from a web browser).
Unless you are setting it up for one user (yourself) the server needs to be a Linux server, preferably Ubuntu.
The server/back-end is a Node.js script, so the editor back-end should be able to run on any system that can run Node.js
This guide assumes you are familiar with the terminal/command prompt.
1. Install Node.JS if it's not already installed on your system
Read instructions on nodesource distributions or download a package or installation file.
2. download the server package tar.gz:
Take notice of the latest server release for jzedit. Then download it:
(Replace the number 3037 with the latest jzedit server relase!)
3. unpack the tarball
4. Go into it's folder
5. Install dependencies
6. Try running the server
Replace IP below with your server's IP.
If it seems to work, open up a browser and type in the ip:port into the URL. For example: http://127.0.0.1:8080
Running for a single user
If you followed the instructions above and got it to work, there's little else you need to do.
You might want to edit the settings in default.js and setup the server to run as a service (see examples in /etc/)
Running as a cloud IDE for multiple users
For example for a software team or school.
This might require a bit of fiddling and is currently covered in README.txt
