How to install Enigma 1/2 BBS

I often think, wouldn't it be nice if I could watch a video and see how to install something step by step and also see all the errors and pitfalls that come up along the way. Well, this video is exactly that! I recorded it live for you, so if you want to install Enigma 1/2 BBS, then you can follow along with me!

For those of you who don't know what Enigma 1/2 is, it's the 'newest' in BBS software. Running on a fully portable Node.js platform, truly open source and is Internet-focussed 'from the get go', it's a serious contender for anyone wishing to start a new BBS system in the 21st century! It has beautiful built-in ANSI art, Telnet and SSH capable. Has an NNTP news server, WebSockets connectivity and even a gopher server just for kicks!
