# Easy Install node.js
| Sponsored by [Daplie](https://daplie.com) |
Automated node.js installers for OS X and Ubuntu
**node.js only** (no dev tools)
```bash
# install node.js without development dependencies
curl -fsSL bit.ly/node-installer | bash -s --no-dev-deps
# using wget instead of curl (Ubuntu)
wget -nv bit.ly/node-installer -O - | bash -s --no-dev-deps
```
**node.js + dev tools**
Install node.js and basic development tools - git, node, gcc, pkg-config, etc
```bash
curl -fsSL bit.ly/node-installer -o ./node-installer.sh; bash ./node-installer.sh --dev-deps
# or wget
wget -nv bit.ly/node-installer -O - ./node-installer.sh; bash ./node-installer.sh --dev-deps
```
*Note*: [bit.ly/node-installer](https://bit.ly/node-installer) simple redirects to <https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/node-installer.sh/raw/master/install.sh>
## 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))
## 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 v8.9.0 and v9.0.0
echo "v8.9.0" > /tmp/NODEJS_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/node-installer -o /tmp/node-installer.sh; bash /tmp/node-installer.sh --dev-deps
```
*TODO*: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
### Ubuntu Linux
```bash
wget -nv bit.ly/node-installer -O /tmp/node-installer.sh; bash /tmp/node-installer.sh --dev-deps
```
### 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 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.
