Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

The following software is required to be installed on your system:

• NodeJS

  The following version of Node and Npm are required:

  • Node 8.x
  • Npm 3.x

  Type the following commands in the terminal to verify your node and npm versions

  node -v
  npm -v

• Couchbase Server

  Couchbase Server 5.x is required

  Type the following address into your browser to verify that Couchbase Server is running on your local machine

  http://localhost:8091

  See alternative Couchbase Server hosting options below

Couchbase Server Setup

One of the 3 options below is recommended to get up and running with MongoDB:

• Install and host locally
• Install and host in container
• Host in the cloud

Install And Host Locally

Visit the Couchbase Developer Portal for instructions on installing Couchbase Server on your OS.

Install And Host In Container

To host couchbase in a Docker container, type the following in your terminal:

docker run -d --name cb-dev -p 8091-8094:8091-8094 -p 11210:11210 couchbase

Next, open http://localhost:8091 in your browser

For more information, see Couchbase Server Docker Hub and Couchbase Containers

Host In The Cloud

Couchbase is available via the following cloud hosting providers:

• AWS (Amazon Web Services) - Couchbase Enterprise Edition

• Azure (Microsoft Azure) - Couchbase Enterprise Edition

• GCP (Google Cloud Platform) - Couchbase Enterprise Edition

Prepare Couchbase Server For NoteWorx

Once you have a Couchbase Server running, please visit these instructions on creating a Bucket. You will need to create a Bucket called 'noteworx' using all the default settings.

Once you have created the 'noteworx' Bucket, open the Query window and type the following command into the query editor:

CREATE PRIMARY INDEX `id-index` ON `noteworx` USING GSI;

At this point you have completed all that is required on the Couchbase Server for the application to work.
