Setup

Webapi is tested on ubuntu 16.04. Other Linux platform can easily adapte to use vigcoin webapi.

Before running webapi, here are some bash steps you should follow:

``
sudo apt-get install gcc
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calidion/chinese-noder-the-easy-way/master/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
`

config npm (For Chinese)

If you are in China and find it very slow to install npm packages. The following instruction will be helpful.

`
touch ~/.npmrc
`

`
registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org/
