Replace the manual install walkthrough with the one-liner
Seven sections of PowerShell - install Git, install Node, install windows-build-tools, clone, npm install, build, run - all of which setup-windows.bat now does, and better. The clone URL in step 4 was stale anyway, pointing at a repo that no longer exists. Kept the parts the script cannot do: adding firms through the UI, loading the extension, and the AutoBuyer notes on foreground lock and display scaling. The clicker sections now say what setup already handles and how to do it by hand. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## VPS Setup (Windows Server 2019 / 2022)
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
All commands are run in **PowerShell** (run as Administrator).
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Install Git
|
||||
|
||||
Download and install from https://git-scm.com/download/win, or via winget:
|
||||
On a fresh Windows machine, in **PowerShell**, from wherever you want the
|
||||
instance to live:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget
|
||||
irm https://git.juicerroom.com/senofy/autofirmer-expanded/raw/branch/master/setup-windows.bat -OutFile setup-windows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart PowerShell after installing so `git` is on the PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Install Node.js 22+
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
winget install --id OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS -e --source winget
|
||||
.\setup-windows.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Restart PowerShell, then verify:
|
||||
That is the whole install. It clones into an `autofirmer` folder beside itself,
|
||||
installs anything missing (Git, Node, Python) via winget, installs dependencies,
|
||||
builds, asks for the master dashboard URL and an instance name, and offers to
|
||||
set up auto-start and auto-update.
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
node --version # should be v22.x or higher
|
||||
npm --version
|
||||
```
|
||||
Re-running it updates an existing checkout rather than cloning again, so it
|
||||
doubles as a repair tool.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Install Windows Build Tools (required for better-sqlite3)
|
||||
Two things it deliberately does, worth knowing:
|
||||
|
||||
`better-sqlite3` compiles a native C++ module and needs the Visual Studio build tools:
|
||||
- **Node LTS, not latest.** `better-sqlite3` ships prebuilt binaries for LTS
|
||||
only. On a newer major it falls back to compiling with node-gyp and fails
|
||||
without Visual Studio Build Tools, so the script warns before that happens.
|
||||
- **It looks for tools off `PATH`.** A tool installed in the same session it is
|
||||
needed — or installed without its "add to PATH" option — is invisible to a
|
||||
running shell, so the script checks the standard install directories too.
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm install -g windows-build-tools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If that fails on newer Node, install manually:
|
||||
- Download **Build Tools for Visual Studio** from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022
|
||||
- During install, select **"Desktop development with C++"**
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Clone the repo
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/Senofy/autofirmer.git
|
||||
cd autofirmer
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Install dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Build
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Run
|
||||
|
||||
**Development (with hot reload):**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Production:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The app runs on **port 3000**. Access it at `http://<your-vps-ip>:3000`.
|
||||
The dashboard runs on port **3000**: `http://localhost:3000`.
