Deploy package.json #83

Closed oscarcalvo closed 7 years ago

oscarcalvo commented 7 years ago

Hi Vlado:

I have doubts about package installation. If I have to deploy only dist folder, how server knows about what packages node needs? I understand I need to deploy package.json manually, right?

Thanks

Do this:

  1. Pull on the production server to have ALL the files of the project on the server that are not generated.
  2. Run npm install.
  3. Run npm run build.
  4. Start the server with the server file (www.js) from the DIST folder.
