• mexpo-cli --version

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.
