  $ [sudo] npm install forever -g

Note: If you are using forever programmatically you should install forever-monitor.

  $ cd /path/to/your/project

Usage

There are two ways to use forever: through the command line or by using forever in your code. Note: If you are using forever programatically you should install forever-monitor.
