Deployment

• This site is currently deployed on an AWS EC2 instance. To gain SSH access to this Ubuntu machine, write to Mani Nilchiani or Ian Thompson
• The node.js server process is initialized and watched by pm2. To install this process manager, you'll need node.js and npm installed. Then: > npm install pm2 -g or yarn glonal add pm2
• Run > npm run build-production or > yarn build-production to build the front-end CSS & JS assets.
• Once npm dependencies are installed and pm2 is installed globally, run > ./init.sh. Inspect the contenst of this file to see what it does. But it basically applies the settings described in ecosystem.config.js and starts pm2 with these settings. Once the server is running, execute pm2 ls to see your app running and datapoins about it.
