ECE_inventory_system

The ECE department would like an inventory system to track items.

Setup:

Install MongoDB

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6

For Ubuntu 14:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

For Ubuntu 16:

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list

Then,

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo service mongod start

Install Node

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Make a directory for global installations:

    mkdir ~/.npm-global

Configure npm to use the new directory path:

    npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

Open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

    export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Back on the command line, update your system variables:

    source ~/.profile

Test: Download a package globally without using sudo.

    npm install -g jshint

npm install -g gulp bower
sudo npm install -g mean-cli 
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=582222 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

Finally, clone and deploy the project

git clone https://github.com/anikard/ECE_inventory_system
cd ECE_inventory_system && npm install
node server.js >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Then access the site at:

https://localhost:8443

admin credentials: username = admin; password = admin.

Sample import string:

[{"name":"resistors","quantity":10, "quantity_available":10},{"name":"transistors","quantity":20, "quantity_available":20}]

import system from api:

{ imports: '[{"name":"resistors","quantity":10, "quantity_available":10},{"name":"transistors","quantity":20, "quantity_available":20}]' }

Put nodeapp.service in /etc/systemd/system. Then type

# sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# sudo systemctl start nodeapp

Watch the logs at sudo journalctl --follow -u nodeapp
