## Requirements

Githermit needs a multitude of packages to work properly.

You'll need to have Git installed (obviously). You should be able to simply install this with your package manager.<br>
For example:

`# apt-get install git`

Githermit also requires NodeJS. You can find a comprehensive guide on how to install it in [the NodeJS documentation](https://nodejs.dev/download/package-manager/).

And then there's a couple of packages that may or may not already be installed on your system.
- gpg
- libpcre
- libpcreposix
- libkrb5
- libk5crypto
- libcom_err
- libssl-dev

## Setup

You should now install the Javascript dependencies with Yarn.

`$ yarn install`

And finally, build the project.

`$ yarn build`

The final step is to create a file called `settings.json` with the following content.
```
{
	"host": "(Host address)",
	"port": (Port),
	"title": "(Title of your Githermit instance)",
	"about": "(Short description of your Githermit instance)",
	"git_dir: "(Directory where all of your bare Git repositories are located)"
}
```

## Starting
You can now run Githermit with
`$ yarn start`
