Autora is a URL Shortener made using Express.js and SQLITE. It's very easy to setup, the following are the requirements:

• Node.js v14+.
• Full permissions to the folder autora run's in.

1. git clone https://github.com/CosmicIceDev/autora.
2. cd autora.
3. npm install.
4. Modify config.js with your own values.
5. Create a directory called db, and create a file inside the directory with whatever name you used in config.js for dbFileName, or if you left it as it was, name it autora.sqlite3.
6. Use pm2 (npm i -g pm2, pm2 start index.js) or run the server using node index.js.

Congrats! You've setup your own instance of Autora!
