Hosting on a VPS (recommended)

Please make sure you completed the Creating a database steps

Installing what we need

First, we are going to make sure we have Nodejs installed on the VPS.

Once that is done we are going to need to run npm install pm2 in the terminal - This installs the dependency we will use to host our Tovy instance.

Installing Tovy

We're going to want to run git clone http://github.com/ItsWHOOOP/tovy.git in our terminal!

Once we do that we are going to run cd tovy

After that, we need to run npm install once again to install what Tovy needs to run!

Running and setting up configs

First, we are going to run node start this will show a prompt that we need to follow for the first time. You should see a prompt like this:

Where it says please provide a MongoDB link paste in the link you copied for your database earlier and click enter.

After this, the Tovy instance should start building.

Tovy setup

First, we are going to go to our Tovy page, by default this is http://localhost:8080

You should see a page like this:

There you are going to enter your Roblox username and the password that you want to set for your account.

Once you click next you should see a screen like this:

For the Group ID field we want to enter the ID of our group - If my group URL was roblox.com/groups/1207931/Group-Recruiting-Plaza-Community#!/about my Group ID would be 1207931.

Once we click next it should load and then we will be greeted with a page that looks like this:

After this you are going to want to click ^c. This exits out of Tovy so we can make it be up 24/7

All we need to do is run pm2 start start.js and it should run in the same place it ran before!

Congrats! You can read more of our guides to learn more about how to use Tovy.
