To start the webpage: first, clone the repo. second, change your current working directory to the root of the repo. third, run npm install. finally, run npm start.
Alternatively, perhaps ideally, a process manager which can restart the node server on server reboot or crash would be implemented to run the server.
pm2 is a popular process manager for node.js applications.
To install pm2, run npm install pm2 -g.
To start the server with pm2, run pm2 start server.js.
To make the application run on server reboot, run pm2 startup and follow the instructions.
