• once the server address is set, the client can be executed with node client.js to get the stats of the machine it is running on
• the the server can be accessed in the browser
• once it is set up it is possible to make it portable by placing a node.js binary with it so that node and npm do not need to be installed on the target system

Optionally, to get cpu power and temperature on supported processors turbostat can be installed and the client needs be run as root. In debian turbostat can be found in the linux-cpupower package, in ubuntu it is in linux-tools-generic.
