Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 3: Configure ARRCON

You can customize the ARRCON configuration by modifying the config.json file. You may adjust settings such as the port number, SSL certificate, and more.

Note: For SSL, ensure that you have a valid SSL certificate installed and update the configuration accordingly.

Step 4: Start ARRCON

Start ARRCON using the following command:

npm start

You should see output that says Server started on port {PORT_NUMBER}. This means that ARRCON has started successfully.

Step 5: Access ARRCON

To access ARRCON, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 (replace 3000 with the port number specified in your config.json file). You should see the ARRCON login page.
