🚀 Quick Installation (Recommended)

No browser install wizard: Wapto no longer uses /install, install.html, or Envato license verification. After the stack is running, run npm run seed in Wapto-api (see Database Seeding), then sign in to the admin panel with the seeded Super Admin account.

For a faster and automated setup, you can use our automated installation script. This script handles system updates, Node.js 22, MongoDB 8.0 (with auth), Redis, PM2, and supports multi-project setup with automatic Domain & SSL configuration.

  • # Create the installation script
  • nano install.sh # Paste the contents of install.sh here
  • chmod +x install.sh
  • sudo ./install.sh
Important: After completing the installation, you must review and update your .env file for each project (Backend, Frontend, Admin).

Make sure to configure:
  • Application URL / Domain
  • Database credentials
  • API keys (e.g., WhatsApp, OpenAI, etc.)
  • Ports (if customized)
Missing or incorrect environment variables may cause the application to not work properly.
Tip: After updating the .env file, make sure to rebuild and restart your application:
  • For Backend:
  • pm2 restart all
  • For Frontend / Admin:
  • npm run build
  • pm2 restart all

This script is idempotent, meaning it is safe to run multiple times to update or add new projects (Backend, Frontend, Admin).
