Configuration express environment on Ubuntu

 

Installation node.js

 

Installation dependencies

sudo apt-get install g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils

sudo apt-get install git-core

Acquiring node source

git clone git: After the download is complete //github.com/joyent/node.git enter cd node into the node folder.

Specify the move version: git checkout v0.4.10, git is a version management tool, which we use git version 0.4.10 to move out, if you do not move out, then direct node will be installed to compile the latest version 0.5.5-pre. The latest version of many common package is not supported. Such as express, so be sure to pay attention to this place.

 

The development path, compile

mkdir ~/local

./configure –prefix=$HOME/local/node

make

make install

echo ‘export PATH=$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH’ >> ~/.profile

echo ‘export NODE_PATH=$HOME/local/node:$HOME/local/node/lib/node_modules’ >> ~/.profile

source ~/.profile

Now we can run the node -v to see if the installation was successful. Note that this setting environment variables is only temporary.

Setting environment variables permanently

Setting environment variables permanently even restart the machine can also use the command node. Enter /etc/.profile in the rearmost two additional lines:

export PATH=”$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH” export NODE_PATH=”$HOME/local/node:$HOME/local/node/lib/node_modules”
