The instruction in this gist was very helpful when I was Installing BaasBox on Linux, But it is not complete. it is missing some important steps, most especially, instructions on how to install and use screen (Which will keep the server running after the ssh session is 'closed'. and how to return to the session later).

I have created a more detailed Gist that carefully explains these little but important steps. Please consider updating the article related to this Gist to reflect the new steps.

My modified Gist instruction: https://gist.github.com/kcochibili/6a1040d395f8ea8b7d14

You don't need Screen to run baasbox in the background
Just add an ampersand at the end of the command.

./start &
