## Options
### Choosing a specific version
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
**Latest**
2016-03-28 21:06:16 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
export NODEJS_VER=""
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
```
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
**Exact**
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
```bash
export NODEJS_VER="v10.2.1"
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```
**Latest of vX.Y.Z**
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
export NODEJS_VER="v8.1"
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
**Latest of vX.YY.Z**
```bash
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
# latest of v8.11.x
export NODEJS_VER="v8.11"
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```
**Latest of vX.Y**
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
export NODEJS_VER="v10"
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
```
2015-04-22 15:54:59 +00:00
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
Fun FYI, here's how the latest version is determined:
```bash
NODEJS_VER=$(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | tail -n +2 | cut -f 1 | head -1 )
echo "The current node.js version is $NODEJS_VER"
```
```bash
BASE_VER="v10\\."
NODEJS_VER=$(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | tail -n +2 | cut -f 1 | grep $BASE_VER | head -1 )
echo "Latest node.js $BASE_VER is $NODEJS_VER"
```
2017-11-03 21:16:35 +00:00
### Choosing an install location
2017-11-03 21:11:57 +00:00
Just set BOTH `NODE_PATH` and `NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX`.
The install path will be the preceding `lib/node_modules`
(which you usually want to be the same as `NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX` anyway).
2017-11-03 21:11:57 +00:00
```bash
2018-06-14 21:10:05 +00:00
export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/tmp/usr/local
export NODE_PATH=/tmp/usr/local/lib/node_modules
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```
2017-11-03 21:11:57 +00:00
2018-06-14 21:10:05 +00:00
A more realistic example for a self-contained node app:
```bash
export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/opt/my-app
export NODE_PATH=/opt/my-app/lib/node_modules
```
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-12 19:46:57 +00:00
curl -fsSL https://bit.ly/node-installer -o ./node-installer.sh; bash ./node-installer.sh --dev-deps
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
```
2017-11-03 21:11:57 +00:00
2018-05-24 21:34:44 +00:00
If you want to add the install location to your `PATH`:
```bash
2017-11-03 21:11:57 +00:00
PATH=$PATH:/tmp/user/local/bin
```

* [Ubuntu Linux](#ubuntu-linux)
* [Important Notes](#other-things-you-should-know)
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
### Apple OS X
2015-01-21 05:45:27 +00:00
First you need to **Install XCode Command Line Tools**
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
xcode-select --install
```
2015-01-21 05:45:27 +00:00
Then you need to **Accept the XCode License** by running any command installed by Xcode with sudo. We'll use git.
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
sudo git --version
```
You can scroll to the bottom by hitting shift+G (capital G).
2015-01-15 22:59:32 +00:00
Type `agree` and hit enter to accept the license.
2015-01-15 22:59:32 +00:00
2015-12-09 20:40:29 +00:00
Now you can install node.js
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
2015-01-08 18:39:49 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-12 19:46:57 +00:00
curl -fsSL https://bit.ly/node-installer -o /tmp/node-installer.sh; bash /tmp/node-installer.sh --dev-deps
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
```
*TODO*: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
### Ubuntu Linux
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
2018-05-12 19:46:57 +00:00
wget -nv https://bit.ly/node-installer -O /tmp/node-installer.sh; bash /tmp/node-installer.sh --dev-deps
```
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
### Other things you should know
2018-05-24 21:31:04 +00:00
This is what gets installed with the dev dependencies:
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
* rsync
* curl
* wget
* git
2015-01-08 18:27:16 +00:00
* xcode / brew / build-essential / pkg-config / gcc
2015-12-09 20:40:29 +00:00
* node (including npm)
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
* jshint
2015-01-08 18:17:15 +00:00
2017-05-25 17:20:00 +00:00
**NOTE**: If you're running a node.js server on an edge server,
I'd highly recommend that you also install `fail2ban` to secure ssh -
especially if you haven't switched your server to use key-only authentication.
