Getting Started with mongoose-server

Install mongoose-server

To get started, you need to install mongoose-server. An installer is currently not available. You should build the application yourself from source, see below.

However, for Archlinux users, there is a package in the AUR.

Build mongoose-server from source

  1. Download the latest stable source
  2. Unpack, e.g. using 7-zip
  3. Create a subdirectory build
  4. cd build
  5. cmake -DMONGOOSE-SERVER_EMBED_MONGOOSE=ON -DMONGOOSE-SERVER_STATIC_LINK_LIBCONFIG=ON ../
  6. make
  7. check the conf file and make modifications if needed
  8. fire it up in a console and check localhost
