   3. For Debian/Ubuntu install only node.js and it will include npm as: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs
   4. Else, you can always compile from source.
2. Get the source: $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/waartaa/waartaa.git
3. Go to waartaa's repository directory just cloned: $ cd waartaa
4. Run setup script: $ ./setup.sh
5. Go to waartaa meteor project's directory: $ cd app
6. Customize server/settings-local.js as needed.

   • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ansible
   • Python pip: sudo pip install ansible
