Hi.

I forked your repo because I saw some bad decisions of AI and I wanted to fix them. So I ran:

npm install
node server.js

...and I got this error:

(node:378) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: not initialized
Failed to initialise database(s)
{ Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5984
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1018:11)
    at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1041:20)

  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 5984 }

I guess I have to set up the database since the port 5984 is closed on my machine. Could you add some instructions in your manual how to do that?

I have updated the readme. It's as simple as installing CouchDB.

That didn't work for me. Could you add to the Readme that in case some body had problems they could do:

# npm install -g pouchdb-server
$ pouchdb-server --port 5984

That finally worked in my case.

In what sense did it not work? Did couchdb fail to install? What platform are you using?

einsteinsfool commented 7 years ago

I installed couchdb successfully but on OpenSUSE from unofficial repo. So after the installation something could be not set up like on Ubuntu. I still got the same error probably because ports 5984 and 8080 were closed (checked with nmap). Perhaps there's a command to open some port for couchdb but I don't know it.

I've updated the readme again.
