Running the bot permanently on a Server
---------------------------------------

[](#running-the-bot-permanently-on-a-server)

I recommend to use the popular `Unitech/pm2` npm package to run your bot. You will need `NodeJS` and `npm` installed on your server.

```
# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

# Then
sudo npm install pm2@latest -g
pm2 start run.php -n "skinny"

```

More informations on the `pm2` package can be found on the [Unitech/PM2](https://github.com/Unitech/pm2) repository.

More informations about installing NodeJS can be found [here](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions).
