## Choosing a specific version

|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo "Current node.js version is $(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | head -2 | tail -1 | cut -f 1)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# To install a specific version rather than defaulting to latest
|
|
# latest version at time of writing are v4.4.1 and v5.9.1
|
|
echo "v5.9.1" > /tmp/NODE_VER
|
|
```

## Notes
|
|
|
|
* [OS X](#apple-os-x)
|
|
* [Ubuntu Linux](#ubuntu-linux)
|
|
* [Important Notes](#other-things-you-should-know)
|
|
|
|
### 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/nodejs-dev-install -o /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-dev.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*TODO*: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu Linux
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget -nv bit.ly/nodejs-dev-install -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)
|
