Hello,  
Can anyone share steps for installation from scratch since most of the time the services fail to start or installation does not work. Also i am unable to find any scratch installation method for installing the genieacs on 18.04. i actually need to change the auth.ts file and create a build.

Please help.

You need to install node and mangodb first.

Instruction for node but you should change the version for the current LTS  
[https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions)

Mango can be simply install from repo.

You want to compile it. Why not simply install it with npm ?

Anyway, from my old note, for debian 8 and node 8. You will probably have to adjust some stuff but it could probably help.

```auto
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -
apt install checkinstall build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev sudo unzip redis-server libsqlite3-dev curl tmux git nodejs
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs.git
cd genieacs
git checkout $(git tag -l v1.1.* --sort=-v:refname | head -n 1)
npm install
npm run compile
mkdir /var/log/genieacs
useradd genieacs
chown -R genieacs:genieacs /opt/genieacs
chown -R genieacs:genieacs /var/log/genieacs

```

after, follow the previous install instruction after the Attention part for startup script.
