Installing

• git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/services/restbase
• Follow instructions in README.md
  • curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
  • source ~/.bashrc
  • nvm install node
  • cd restbase
  • npm install

Issues

• npm does not appear to be available for debian stretch, the current stable version of debian, so you need to install nvm to get it.
• How do you run RESTBase as a service?
