apt-get install -y nodejs
</pre>
h2. Install JSbin with npm
* Install JSbin using npm:
<pre>
npm install -g jsbin
</pre>
* Create a new config file and edit it as necessary:
<pre>
cd /usr/lib/node_modules/jsbin
cp config.default.json config.local.json
</pre>
* Install a few node modules:
<pre>
npm install grunt-contrib-uglify grunt-contrib-jshint grunt-contrib-concat
</pre>
* Then build the production files:
<pre>
grunt build
</pre>
* Test JSbin in development mode:
<pre>

</pre>
#* Go to http://localhost:3000 in a web browser
h2. Running JSbin with PM2
* Install pm2 globally:

</pre>
* Add a jsbin user to separate privileges:
<pre>
useradd -m -g users -s /bin/bash jsbin
</pre>
* Change the ownership of the global jsbin folder to the jsbin user:
<pre>
chown -R jsbin /usr/lib/node_modules/jsbin
</pre>
* Switch to the jsbin user:
<pre>
su - jsbin
</pre>
#*
* Start jsbin using pm2:
<pre>
pm2 start /usr/lib/node_modules/jsbin/bin/jsbin
</pre>
#* Exit from the jsbin user:
<pre>

</pre>
* Then save the pm2 applications to allow them to start up after rebooting:
