You might want to look into app.js and public/js/chat.js to make some adjustments such as changing the socket url to other than localhost, and set up a SSL certificate to work with it.
After you clone this repo to your desktop, go to its root directory and run npm install to install its dependencies.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can run node main.js to start the application. You will then be able to access it at http://localhost:3000
To give yourself administrator permissions on the chat, you will have to type /op [your-name] in the app console.
