Centos 6.x install and configure node.js environment

download

You can download the latest version of node.js locally , and then upload it to the server through the ftp tool, or use the wget command to download directly on the server terminal (I downloaded the node-v6.11.3-linux-x64 version at the time, please check the above link for other versions Then replace it):

$ wget https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node/v6.11.3/node-v6.11.3-linux-x64.tar.gz

 

decompress

Enter the server terminal, find the uploaded or downloaded installation package, and unzip it

$ tar -zvxf node-v6.11.3-linux-x64.tar.gz

Move to the installation directory and rename

$ mv node-v6. 11.3 -linux-x64 / opt / node

 

Configure environment variables

Open the profile file in the etc directory

$ vi /etc/profile

Add the following at the end of the file

export NODE_HOME=/opt/node
export PATH=$NODE_HOME/bin:$PATH

Effective environment variable

$ source /etc/profile

You can also add the above environment variables to the .bash_profile file in the user's root directory

$ vi ~ / .bash_profile

export NODE_HOME=/opt/node 
export PATH=$NODE_HOME/bin:$PATH

 

Check version

$ node --v
v6. 11.3

$ npm - v
 3.10 . 10
