Click here to install takes under an hour. Patience is required.
With the world moving on to Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and beyond, we can still use the trusty original RPi for firenodejs. It's slow and quirky but it works. Things to note:
- nodejs is installed as nodejs and not node, so the install script will create a node symlink. There is an historical "node" program that has nothing to do with nodejs, hence all this confusion. Raspian Jessie has solved this somewhat by omitting that historical "node" program.
- serialport doesn't build on Raspberry Pi yet, so firenodejs fails over to the FireStep command line interface (cli) which is installed automatically as part of firenodejs.
Click here to install takes about 15 minutes.
The same Raspbian Jessie that runs on Raspberry Pi (original) works as expected on the Raspberry Pi 2.
