Installation

There are two ways to install Auktiva: using the automated installer or manual installation.

Automated Installation (Recommended)

The easiest way to get started is using our one-line installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomsa/auktiva/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This script will:

1. Check for Node.js (18+) and Git
2. Clone the repository to your current directory
3. Install dependencies
4. Launch an interactive setup wizard

Setup Wizard

The setup wizard guides you through configuring:

• Storage: Local filesystem or S3-compatible storage
• Database: SQLite (local) or Turso (cloud)
• Authentication: Generates secure secrets
• Feature flags: Enable/disable open auctions

After configuration, it automatically:

1. Generates the Prisma client
2. Pushes the database schema
3. Seeds initial data (currencies)
4. Builds the application
5. Optionally installs and starts PM2

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual setup:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/thomsa/auktiva.git
cd auktiva

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your configuration. See Configuration for details.

4. Set Up Database

Generate the Prisma client:

npm run db:generate

npm run db:push

Seed initial data:

npm run seed:currencies

5. Build and Run
