# Automated node.js installers for OS X and Ubuntu
A script to install basic development tools for node.js - git, node, gcc, pkg-config, etc
Pick one:
* [OS X](#apple-os-x)
* [Ubuntu Linux](#ubuntu-linux)
* [TL;DR](#tldr)
* [Important Notes](#other-things-you-should-know)
## Screencast
[How to Setup a VPS for node.js Development](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypjzi1axH2A) - [(3:06 installing node.js](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypjzi1axH2A#t=186))
## TL;DR
If you kinda know what you're doing already:
**node.js + dev tools**
```bash
echo "Current node.js version is $(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | head -2 | tail -1 | cut -f 1)"
curl -fsSL bit.ly/iojs-dev -o /tmp/iojs-dev.sh; bash /tmp/iojs-dev.sh
```
**node.js only** (no git, gcc, etc)
```bash
# To install a specific version rather than defaulting to latest
# latest version at time of writing are v1.8.4, v2.5.0, and v3.1.0
echo "v2.5.0" > /tmp/IOJS_VER
# node.js without development dependencies
curl -fsSL bit.ly/iojs-min | bash
# Ubuntu without curl
wget -nv bit.ly/iojs-min -O - | bash
```
## Apple OS X
First you need to **Install XCode Command Line Tools**
```bash
xcode-select --install
```
Then you need to **Accept the XCode License** by running any command installed by Xcode with sudo. We'll use git.
```bash
sudo git --version
```
You can scroll to the bottom by hitting shift+G (capital G).
Type `agree` and hit enter to accept the license.
Now you can install node.js
```bash
curl -fsSL bit.ly/iojs-dev -o /tmp/iojs-dev.sh; bash /tmp/iojs-dev.sh
```
*TODO*: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
## Ubuntu Linux
```bash
wget -nv bit.ly/iojs-dev -O /tmp/iojs-dev.sh; bash /tmp/iojs-dev.sh
```
## Other things you should know
This is what gets installed:
* rsync
* curl
* wget
* git
* xcode / brew / build-essential / pkg-config / gcc
* node (including npm)
* jshint
**NOTE**: If `fail2ban` is not already securing ssh, you will be asked to install it.
Front-End Extras
================
These are **not installed**, but you may wish to use them if you're doing front-end work as well
* bower
* uglifyjs
* yo
