2018-07-14 23:26:23 +00:00
*1.* Create Misskey user
2017-05-18 05:56:23 +00:00
----------------------------------------------------------------
2018-07-14 23:26:23 +00:00
Running misskey on root is not a good idea so we create a user for that.
In debian for exemple :
2017-05-18 05:56:23 +00:00
2018-07-15 00:43:16 +00:00
```
2018-07-14 23:26:23 +00:00
adduser --disabled-password --disabled-login misskey
2017-11-22 20:43:00 +00:00
```
2018-03-27 03:55:58 +00:00
*2.* Install dependencies

2018-08-14 13:41:55 +00:00
In the app you need to set the oauth callback url as : https://misskey-instance/api/tw/cb

Build misskey with the following:
