Make process calls the parse deploy tool, so it needs the parse deploy tool to be installed.

Run make build to compile

make deploy to deploy

Before building, make sure the following environment variables:

• FBTOKEN - facebook access token
• GROUPID - facebook group ID

After deploying, make sure to set up the grabFacebookPosts background job to grab all the posts from your facebook group as frequently as you like.

Facebook Access Tokens Expire

Use the graph API explorer to get a temporary access token for testing. This token will expire in one hour.

Once you're ready to make a more permanent access token, make a facebook app, set the permissions you need, and click debug on the app's access token so you can get to the page that allows you to Extend Access Token
