In your shell type the following commands.
git clone https://github.com/jedireza/drywall.git
cd drywall
mv ./config.example.js ./config.js
touch .npmignore
jitsu login
Enter user credentials to authenticate your terminal.
Open up the package.json file in your text editor. It should look similar to what is shown below. Follow the comments.

- Create an account at MongoHQ or Mongolab (or another MongoDB provider)
- Create a database
- Create a user with write access
- Open the config.js file in your drywall directory
- On line 5, change
'localhost/drywall'
to the URI of your remote mongodb. It should look something like this:
uri: process.env.MONGOLAB_URI || process.env.MONGOHQ_URL || 'mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@<database>.<mongohost.com>:<port>/<dbname>'
Now your project is ready to deploy. In your shell, type:
jitsu deploy
To set up admin privileges to your database, use instructions provided by your database host to access your database remotely, and run the same commands given in the drywall readme.md
