The SPX source code is publicly available on [GitHub](https://github.com/TuomoKu/SPX-GC). Developers can clone the repository and run SPX directly using NodeJS. > [!warning] The source code in the repository is always in a **work in progress** state and features may or may not work. > > For production use, we highly recommend our [commercial versions](https://spxgraphics.com/software/#compare) for updated features and software support. ### Prerequisites - **Node.js** (v18 or later) - **npm** (comes with Node.js) - **Git** (for cloning the repository) ### Steps 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/TuomoKu/SPX-GC.git . ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm i ``` 3. Start the server: ```bash node server.js ``` For development mode with hot reloading, use: ```bash npm run dev ``` ### Running with PM2 For production deployments from source code, consider using the [PM2](https://pm2.keymetrics.io/) process manager. PM2 keeps SPX running in the background, restarts it automatically on crashes, and provides monitoring tools. ```bash npm start ``` You can also run several SPX instances simultaneously on different ports by using a PM2 `ecosystem.config.js` file. Each instance can have its own port and [[Documentation/Server/Configurations|configuration]]. > [!note] When running multiple instances, make sure each instance uses a unique `general.port` value in its [[Documentation/Server/Configurations|config.json]].
