Installing Node.js + npm + Express + Mongoose on Ubuntu 11.04
Unfortunately, it’s not easy at all.
Fortunately, I have a solution, since
- apt-get install nodejs with native untouched /etc/apt/sources.list FAILED
- git clone —depth 1 git://github.com/joyent/node.git FAILED
- curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh FAILED
And now, the solution :
sudo apt-get install g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils git-core
So, following the Ubuntu paragraph in the Node’s Github wiki dedicated page:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
# And then
cd /tmp
git clone http://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
cd npm
sudo make install
# And then
npm install express
npm install mongoose
npm -ls
so now npm ls will finally gives you :
├─┬ express@2.4.3
│ ├── connect@1.6.0
│ ├── mime@1.2.2
│ └── qs@0.3.0
└─┬ mongoose@1.7.4
├── colors@0.5.0
├── hooks@0.1.9
└── mongodb@0.9.6-7
