3. Run the server binary file, use the --dir flag to point the management server to your Factorio installation. If you are using the steam installation, point FSM to the steam directory.
Run the UI server and specify the directory of your Factorio server installation and the interface to run the HTTP server on. Edit the conf.json file with your desired credentials for authentication.
The root of the UI application is served at app/index.html. Run the npm build script and the Go application during development to get live rebuilding of the UI code.
The frontend is completly build by npm with laravel-mix. All plugins are buld into the compiled files. No plugins need to be load fro external sources.
It has different variants to build the frontend, provided by laravel-mix:
-`npm run dev` Build the code for development. This will also generate map-files, so the browser, can show, what line and file causes the output.
-`npm run watch` Build the code for development like the dev-command. This will not stop and automatically rebuild, when files are changed and saved.
-`npm run hot` Build the code for development. It has the same behaviour like the watch-command and also causes a hotReload of the files inside the browser (in theory)
-`npm run build` Build the code for deployment. It will generate no map-files and also minifies the bundle-files.
In every of those cases, also images and fonts will be copied to the app-folder.
6. You will need to setup GOPATH in environmental settings in windows. You will want to go into Control Panel\System and Security\System From there on the left hand side click "Advanced system settings". A window will open and you need to click Environment Variables.
7. Under System Variables click New. For Variable name use GOPATH and Variable value C:\Go\
Once everything is installed and ready to go you will need to compile the source for windows
1. Open the folder where ever you unzipped from step #2 above.
2. My folder structure is like this "C:\FS\factorio-server-manager\" C:\FS is where my factorio files are located C:\FS\factorio-server-manager\ is where the server manager files are.
3. You will now need to install some dependencies for Go. You will need to open up a command prompt and one at a time type each of these and hit enter before typing the next one.
3. Now you will want to go into the src folder for example "C:\FS\factorio-server-manager\src" once there hold down left shift and right click an empty area of the folder. Then click "Open command windows here"
4. Type this into the command prompt then hit enter:
```
go build
```
5. Once finished you will now see src.exe or src file inside the folder. You need to move that file to the C:\FS\factorio-server-manager\ or the folder that is before your src folder.
6. From here you need to build the web front-end by going into your ui folder for me its C:\FS\factorio-server-manager\ui\ and again hold shift and left click in an empty area then select open command prompt here. You then need to type this:
```
npm install
npm run build
```
7. Now execute the src file created in step #4 above
8. You can now Visit [localhost:8080](localhost:8080) in your web browser to start using the Factorio server Manager
