HeadlessVidX - Node.js Setup Instructions

If you prefer to run HeadlessVidX directly with Node.js instead of Docker:

1. Install Node.js (v18 or later recommended) from https://nodejs.org/

2. Extract the HeadlessVidX folder to a location of your choice
   (e.g. C:\HeadlessVidX\ or ~/HeadlessVidX/).

3. Open a terminal in that folder and install dependencies:
   npm install

4. Start the server:
   node index.js

5. The server will start on port 3202 by default.
   Open http://localhost:3202 in your browser.

Tips:
- To keep the server running in the background, use a process manager like pm2:
  npm install -g pm2
  pm2 start index.js --name headlessvidx
- Your site definitions will be stored in the project’s files directory.
