# I usually start client and servers in separate screens
# screen -S server 
node server/js/main.js

# screen -S client
cd client
npm install -g http-server
# (edit config_local.json)
cp -r ../shared .
cp config/config_local.json config/config_build.json
http-server -p 80

line 10 needs to be changed to wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v$NODE_VERSION.tar.gz for it to work now
line 24 change http tp https curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
