Installation

Getting Keagate up and running is a breeze. You can choose either a quick one-liner installation or go through a manual setup.

One-liner

This installation script allows you to deploy Keagate quickly in a Linux environment.

bash -c $(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/main/packages/scripts/keagate.sh)

Alternatively, for manual download:

bash 
curl -o keagate.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/main/packages/scripts/keagate.sh 
chmod +x keagate.sh 
./keagate.sh

This script is compatible with various Linux flavors, including Ubuntu and CentOS.

Manual Installation

For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, here’s how to manually install Keagate:

• Install MongoDB (Install MongoDB)
• Set up a web server (like Nginx or Apache2) as a reverse proxy.
• Install Node.js and NPM (Installation Instructions).

Configuration

Once installed, Keagate needs proper configuration through a file named local.json found in the config directory. You can configure it either using the command-line interface (CLI) or manually by editing the file.

CLI Configuration

To configure using the CLI, simply run the following command in the Keagate root directory:

node packages/scripts/build/configure.js

This command sets up the configuration file.

Manual Configuration

Edit the local.json file directly. The schema of the configuration is provided in the default.json. You can set specific options such as currency and API keys.

Payment Lifecycle

Once Keagate is configured, you can start processing payments. The payment lifecycle consists of two methods: API method and Invoice Client method.

API Method

In the API-driven method, the payment flow involves:

• Invoking the createPayment route with necessary parameters.
• Notifying the customer to make a payment.
• Waiting for the payment to complete.
• Confirming the payment status using the IPN route.

Invoice Client Method

This method utilizes the built-in invoicing client for payment processing. The workflow consists of:

• Creating a payment via the createPayment route.
• Directing the user to the invoice client URL.
• Confirming and processing the payment with the IPN route.

Instant Payment Notifications

For real-time notifications of payment status updates, set up instant payment notifications (IPN) by configuring the IPN_HMAC_SECRET attribute in your local.json. This adds an extra layer of security to your notifications.

Development

For those looking to extend or build on Keagate, follow these steps:

• Clone the repository.
• Install pnpm globally with npm i -g pnpm.
• Navigate to the Keagate directory and run pnpm i.
• Set up your MongoDB connection in config/local.json.
• Run pnpm run dev to start the development server.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues during installation or configuration, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have installed all prerequisites, including MongoDB and a web server.
• Double-check your configuration parameters in local.json for any typos.
• Review the logs for errors during the installation or runtime.
