Get Started

You can run your own instance by following these steps

Setup

To use Proof of Existence, you need to have Node JS installed.
We recommend using the 8.11.1 version (LTS).

Install Node

You can download node from the official Node JS website.

For Mac OS X, you can also use brew - follow this guide.
To install a specific version, you can use nvm that will help you manage different installations of node.

Installation

Just download the code from Github and install the dependencies.

git clone git@github.com:proofofexistence/proofofexistence.git
cd proofofexistence
npm install

Now let's build the CSS assets before starting the app.

npm run build

Configuration

You need to create a config file to store your own server, BTC wallet and email information.

cp config/test.yaml config/local-development.yaml

Report to the config page to learn more about config variables.

Running

npm start

The app will be listening at http://localhost:3004/.
