Installing and Running

FUXA is developed with NodeJS (backend) and Angular (frontend). You can use the released Windows desktop version build with Electron framework or follow the installation.

You need to have installed Node (Version 10.17) and NPM (Version 6.11). You need Python 2.7 (in Windows add to Environment Variable PATH) why some packages must be compiled from the source.
