You can try the game locally or deploy it to your own server.
To host the game on your own server or test it locally for development, you need to install the main backgammon.js package. It includes both the backgammon.js server and client.
There is no need to install the client separately, as it is served automatically from the server via HTTP. Client should work in modern browsers of both desktop PCs and mobile devices.
The universal way to install the server is:
Run:
npm install
npm start
The game server has been tested to work on the following platforms:
Follow the links above for more detailed installation instructions on those platforms.
