How to Setup a VPS for node.js Development - (3:06 installing node.js)
TL;DR
If you kinda know what you're doing already:
node.js + dev tools
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/install-nodejs-dev -o /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-dev.sh
node.js only (no git, gcc, etc)
# 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/nodejs-min | bash
# Ubuntu without curl
wget -nv bit.ly/nodejs-min -O - | bash
Apple OS X
First you need to Install XCode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install
Then you need to Accept the XCode License by running any command installed by Xcode with sudo. We'll use git.
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
curl -fsSL bit.ly/install-nodejs-dev -o /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-dev.sh
TODO: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
Ubuntu Linux
wget -nv bit.ly/install-nodejs-dev -O /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-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.
