hello @chloesun (welcome to the forum! & excuse the late reply), as @avanwaart says, this guide is really just for debian. Nevertheless, the speckle server is actually developed on osx. to get it running there, you’ll need to:
- install node (preferably with nvm).
- install mongodb locally & start it up
- install redis locally & start it up
- clone the server repo, and then run:
npm installnode server.js
Then, probably with some minor tweaks to the .env file, you’ll be good to go. Mind you, I didn’t follow the guides above, so can’t really vouch for their effectiveness. Hope this helps!
PS: You can always use https://hestia.speckle.works/api if you just want to play around.
