Installing Nodejs in CentOS

1. Change the software source

Back up the default software source file "Centos-base.repo"

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo.backup

Download the corresponding version of the repo file and put it in the/etc/yum.repos.d/directory

wget http://mirrors.163.com/.help/CentOS6-Base-163.repomv CentOS6-Base-163.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/yum makecache

2. Installing Nodejs-dependent libraries or tools

yum install libtool automake autoconf gcc-c++ openssl-devel  

3. Installing Nodejs

Then download the Nodejs source package tar (http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.34/node-v0.10.34.tar.gz), unzip it directly kick compile the installation

./configure --prefix=/usr  make  make install

Finally, with Node-v and npm-v to view the installed version here is actually not finished, but also need to install NODE-GYP and other packages

npm install -g node-gyp  

Another way to install NPM is

wget http://npmjs.org/install.sh  chmod +x ./install.sh  ./install.sh
