NodeBB setup

[Rhapsody]

I'm trying to create a forum with NodeBB, but there's a few problems, namely that some of the dependencies are likely not installed (in particular, redis-server and imagemagick, I checked and node.js is installed so that's not problematic). Further, if I try to continue without installing said dependencies by SSHing to the folder that contains my installation of NodeBB and try to set it up with ./nodebb setup, I can't because I don't have permission. I'd imagine I'd need superuser access via sudo, but obviously I can't do that since this is shared hosting.

Is there any way around this that allows me to get these dependencies installed, run the setup for NodeBB, and start and stop it via ./nodebb start and ./nodebb stop without superuser access?

The Ubuntu setup instructions are here.

It doesn't appear node.js is supported on the shared web hosting here.

I'm going to have to disagree. That post is from a year ago, and running 'node --version' in SSH reports one of the newer node.js versions.

While node.js may exist on the webhosting, it's daemon running ability likely will not work. We don't allow daemons to run on the webhosting.
