Bitnami MEAN For Mac

The Bitnami installer packages are designed to streamline the deployment and configuration of open source server apps and development environments. The installers contain all the necessary runtime dependencies and are able to configure the software solutions without user involvement.

The Bitnami MEAN stack offers you the possibility to create a development environment for Node.js and MongoDB. The deployment procedure is quite straightforward, and you can create multiple instances as long as you use different directories for the installations.

By default, Bitnami MEAN will install the following software packages: mongoDB, RockMongo, Apache, PHP, Node.js, and Git. Keep in mind that, since the installation is self-contained, it will not interfere with other software present on you Mac.

Bitnami MEAN places all the resources in the same folder: the servers, the Manager application, the documentation, and even the uninstaller package.

Note that you get to manage the server’s status via the command line with the help of the ctlscript.sh script, or you can launch the Manager app for a more user-friendly approach.

Once everything is in place, via the Bitnami MEAN Manager app you get to launch the application in your web browser and use the RockMongo solution to manage the mongoDB server from the web console.

You get to either start, stop, or restart both the MongoDB and the Apache servers. Moreover, the Manager app offers you the possibility to change the port or the SSL port used by the Apache server.

Bitnami MEAN packs everything you need to install, configure and manage MongoDB and Node.js servers with minimal effort. The stack comes with efficient installer and uninstaller packages, and deals with the entire configuration process automatically.
