[CB for BP] Node.js set up develop environment

monkeyse7en

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

And I find this interesting project NodeOS(

http://node-os.com/

, though still work in progess). So let's set up the Node.js develop environmet on BP first. This is a little different from on PC.

In root, or you can use sudo. If you don't set the root, follow:

1. #sudo passwd  
   
2. Password:<---------the password you use now
   
3. Enter new UNIX password:<------the new root password
   
4. Retype new UNIX password:<------retype it

Copy the Code

type su enter the root mode, download the package

1. root@cubieboard2:/# cd /home/linaro/Downloads/
   
2. root@cubieboard2:/home/linaro/Downloads# wget http://www.nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.15/node-v0.10.28.tar.gz

Copy the Code

you can go

http://nodejs.org/

to check the newest node.js

After download the package,

1. 
   
2. #tar -xzvf node-v0.10.28.tar.gz
   
3. #cd node-v0.10.28
   
4. #./configure --without-snapshot

Copy the Code

This part is important.

after see 'v8_use_snapshot': 'false', we can move on:

1. #make

Copy the Code

. Now you can AFK, for a movie. It takes a long time.

1. #make install

Copy the Code

Almost Done!
To check whether install successfully:

1. #node -v

Copy the Code

Enjoy Node.js
