Introduction to the steps to build a node.js environment on a linux server

This article brings you an introduction to the steps to build a node.js environment on a Linux server. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Install node.js environment

node.js is JavaScript running on the server, a platform based on the Chrome JavaScript V8 engine.

Download and install node.js
Download the latest stable version v10.15.3 locally (this is the latest stable version when the article is currently published)

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.3/node-v10.15.3-linux-x64.tar.xz

After downloading, unzip it

tar xvJf node-v10.15.3-linux-x64.tar.xz

Unzip the node Move the .js directory to the /usr/local directory

mv node-v10.15.3-linux-x64 /usr/local/node-v10

Configure the node soft connection to the /bin directory

ln -s /usr/local/node-v10/bin/node /bin/node

2. Configure and use npm

Configuration nm
npm is the package management and distribution tool for Node.js. It allows Node.js developers to share code and common code snippets more easily
The compressed package for downloading node already contains npm, we only need to soft link it to the bin directory

ln -s /usr/local/node-v10/bin/npm /bin/npm

Configure variable environment
Add the /usr/local/node-v10/bin directory to the $PATH environment variable to easily use third-party tools installed globally through npm

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/node-v10/bin:$PATH' >> /etc/profile

Effective environment variables

source /etc/profile

Use npm
Install the process management module forever through npm

npm install forever -g

Complete the environment setup
Congratulations! You have successfully set up the node.js environment
