sudo nand-sata-installinstall ngnix
sudo systemctl stop log2ram.service
sudo apt-get -y install nginx
sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl start log2ram.service
install all dependencies required by Rocket.Chat
sudo apt install graphicsmagick build-essentialyInstall Node.js and npm and change version of Node.js to 4.5
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.5
node --version
A MongoDB database is required to store our chat data.MongoDB could be installed on the Pi, but because of the high write volume it’s probably not too good for your SD card and there is a high risk of data corruption.mLab.com (previously known as Mongo Lab) provides a cloud database service. Their free sandbox package provides a single database with 500 megabytes and no credit card is required.
