it would a LOT be better if there's a deb package available, you have to do a lot of tweaking to make node work as `node`, since it's named `nodejs` to avoid package name conflict in Linux
now that it's open sourced, am sure it'll take like a second for someone to release the deb package
In the meantime, can't you just symlink or alias that problem away?
yep i can and i did, still, I'll like it far more if it `just works` without me having to open the terminal and install node, npm, make link of nodejs...
That (which can be fixed somewhat easily by [1]), and they rely on version >= v0.10.* which is gross as only v0.6.9 is provided by the default Ubuntu 12.04 repos (which are what is recommended by their README).
[1] - `ln -s $(which nodejs) ~/bin/node`
Surely you mean /usr/bin/node instead of ~/bin/node...?
Why? If you have ~/bin in your path, wouldn't not cluttering the global bin be preferable?
Did anybody manage to get this working on 14.04?
I got past the initial node-vs-nodejs problem, then got loads of errors on script/build and I can't go any further.
$ apt-get install nodejs-legacy
(or make the symlink yourself.)
I wish people would just use OpenSuse Build Service! https://build.opensuse.org/ If you build it there you can make it work for Ubuntu, Fedora, Cent, Debian etc... The must under used Linux tool in the world!
OBS really really needs a nicer tutorial and/or an "import from GitHub" button. Getting artifacts into my OBS project (or was it OBS Home?) was pretty tricky
