Publish Your Bot To A NodeJitsu For Free Hosting In 9 Easy Steps..

Set up your bot, make it completely bug free, then remove any type of console output ( console outputs cause a immediate failure as the server cannot handle any console requests) , so go ahead and // out all of those console.logs('');...

1. Sign up for nodejitsu...
2. From your node.js console type npm install jitsu
3. Run the command from the console jitsu login Type in your login information, If your a new user, the script will ask you to create new login information.
4. Change your console directory to your .js code... (cd)
5. Now... You need to add something to the very top of your .js script, this code will initialize your own server, as the drones that nodejitsu uses have to see a initialized server within 4 seconds of deploying, or you will return with a error such as http://pastebin.com/iL69G18j... But im going to show you how to avoid this... :D, just add this very simple code to the top of your script, require('net').createServer().listen() ... This will initialize the server on port 80, so the drones see a server initialized, and not throw a error at you... Now that we have a server initialized, double-check your code for any console outputs... if your safe, move on to step 6
6. Now that your directory should reflect your scripts directory, type in npm install --save ttapi, this will save a node_modules file with ttapi installed into that directory, be sure you do this will all of your dependencies.... ( or the script will fail ) (if you have a package.json file, skip number 8)
7. Type jitsu deploy
8. Fill in the information it asks, make up a subdomain that fancys your script, and when it asks for a engine version... fill in 0.8.0 , because not all of nodejitsu's servers are updated to 0.8.16, make up a version number for your script, a perfectly valid answer would be 1.0.0
9. Jitsu should publish your app, and it should run it automatically...
