Textbelt can be run as a standalone server with: `node server/app.js`. Be sure to install dependencies first with `npm install`. This project also relies on redis. To install redis locally, please see the [redis documentation](http://redis.io/topics/quickstart). Before launching the app, ensure redis is running on port 6379 with `redis-server`.
By default, the server listens on port 9090 and is configured to accept traffic from a reverse proxy or load balancer such as nginx. To enable accurate IP rate limiting, the reverse proxy should be configured to set the `X-Real-IP` header.
