# Run App producer on server

### Run the process NON Stop. - Server Environment <a href="#run-the-process-non-stop-server-environment" id="run-the-process-non-stop-server-environment"></a>

The Expo CLI can work on Window, Mac, and Linux.&#x20;

So it means that you can make apps from Linux Server.&#x20;

Together with [PM2](http://pm2.keymetrics.io/) you can have a server that never stops.

Let's start.

**Step 1. Install Node, NPM, GIT, and EXPO**

1. **Install node and npm**: Read about it [here](https://tecadmin.net/install-nodejs-with-nvm/).

4. **Install PM2**: Follow [instruction](http://pm2.keymetrics.io/).
5. Install mexpo-cli with the command `npm i -g mexpo-cli`
6. To make your VPS handle more operations  - Restart after that\
   `echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p` &#x20;

To verify your installation run

* **`node --version`**
* **`npm --version`**
* **`git --version`**
* **`expo --version`**
* **`pm2 --version`**
* **`mexpo-cli --version`**

{% tab title="With our repository" %}

1. Clone or use our  repository in Git Lab. If you don't have access, send us your purchase code and we will add it.
2. Connect to your server via ssh
3. Clone the repository in your server
4. Use tools like `nano`  or `vi` Configure Mobile App/Producer/config.js with your own data. Email, smtp etc.
5. You should have also followed and completed the steps for the Local App producer. We need modified firebase\_config.js file and **service-account-file.json** file.&#x20;
6. Run **`npm install`**&#x20;
7. Run **`expo login`** and login with your account.

{% tab title="With your repository" %}

1. Make sure you have configured Mobile App/Producer/config.js with your own data. Email, smtp etc.
2. You should have also followed and completed the steps for the Local App producer. We need modified firebase\_config.js file and services\_account json file.&#x20;
3. You will need to upload the code on some GIT platform like GitLab, GitHub or BitBucket. Initialize your local Mobile App folder.
4. Connect via SSH to your VPS
5. Clone the code from your repository.
6. Go inside your cloned code
7. Run **`npm install`**&#x20;
8. Run **`expo login`** and login with your account.

Now. Run the production script with **`npm run pmserver`**

The server producer is now up and running.&#x20;
