Personal note for installing node on linux
- check if git is installed
git --version- if git is not installed
sudo yum install git- install gcc and open ssl
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make
sudo yum install openssl-deve- clone the git repo into a directory called node (which you can remove later):
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git- if you want to install specific version, do the following.
- replace x to be your version number
cd node
git checkout v6.x.x- build node
./configure
make
sudo make install-once the installation is done, check the node version and npm version
node --version
npm --version
