Starting The Dashboard

The final page in the installation category shows how to start the Dashboard so you and your clients can start using it.

Step 1 - Testing

Test Dashactyl works by entering the dashactyl directory and typying the commands:

$ cd dashactyl
$ node index.js

# Your output should send the following messgae (Your port may be different):
# [WEBSITE] The dashboard has successfully loaded on port 80.

If you did receive that message without getting any errors you can now move on to step 2. If you did receive an error make sure you've followed the docs correctly and join our Discord sevrer for more help if needed.

Cancel the process by pressing CTRL C on Windows before moving on to Step 2.

Step 2 - Production

Now we know that the Dashactyl works we can use "forever" which will make sure the process is still running after we exit SSH.

sudo npm install forever -g
forever start index.js

Now you're done, if you haven't receive an error you're good to go and Dashactyl should work!
