If you are familial with NodeJS, all you need to know to get MeshCentral running are these two commands:
npm install meshcentral
node node_modules/meshcentral
This would get your running with your own server in a minute of two and can start playing around. By default, MeshCentral will run in LAN-mode, where agents installed on other machines will multicast on the local network to find the server. Once familiar with the basics, you will want to configure MeshCentral on a computer with known DNS name so that agents install all over the internet can connect back to the server.
