# Microblog-Stagram - Build a MicroBlog backed by Instagram
**Microblog-Stagram is a developer tool for building microblogs easily by using the capability of instagram**
You need to build a simple blog, and you feel wordpress is too much ? I'm agree with you that why i came with simple idea to use Instagram as a backend.
### Instagram as a backend ?
Yes instagram offers :
* (not too bad) Apis
* Various content type (image, caroussel, gif, video)
* Illimited storage ^^
* Quality of services
# Install Microblog-Stagram in 3 simple steps.
Microblog-Stagram is a Node.js module, it works with Node and npm.
## 1. Create your instagram API client app
Connect to the [instagram developer website](https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/) And register a new client to get your **client id** and **client secret**.
During the registrationn add 2 *vValid redirect URIs:* as **http://localhost/auth/instagram/callback** to test on your computer and **http://example.com/auth/instagram/callback** for your final website (example.com)
## 2. Setup your environment
### **Command Line Interface**
The best way to get started locally with Microblog-stagram is by installing through npm.
```
$ npm install
```
Then you need to setup the environment variables
```
$ cp .env.example .env
```
Edit the file `.env` and replace the values :
* `HOST` : The url of your website (ex : http://example.com)
* `INSTA_CLIENT_ID` : The instagram client ID just created from the instagram developer portal on step 1
* `INSTA_CLIENT_SECRET` : The instagram client SECRET just created from the instagram developer portal on step 1
* `HASHTAG` : Specify a hashtag if you just want to display some specific post on your microblog (ex : #blogstagram)
* `NUMBER_PER_PAGE` : The number of post to load on each page
## 3. Link to your instagram account
At the first start the app will need to be link to your instagram account.
From the command line interface run :
```
$ npm start
```

*http://localhost/*
