On a Google Compute Engine n1-standard-1 (1 vCPU, 3.8 GB memory) make took:
real 6m46.780s
user 6m9.980s
sys 0m21.200s
How can I upgrade node and npm if I installed from here? It installed me old versions.
Thanks for the doc! I used checkinstall, that way i could remove installed stuff quickly:
(i did not have tested the remove-procedure)
cd node/
#[checkout stable...]
# checkinstall creates a .deb-pkg and you can remove the installation with dpkg -r
#1. create doc-pak dir. checkinstall will use this to produce the /usr/share/doc/[pkg-name]/ dir...
mkdir doc-pak
cp README INSTALL COPYING Changelog TODO CREDITS doc-pak
cp ChangeLog LICENSE CONTRIBUTING.md README.md AUTHORS doc-pak/
#2. create the package description for the package-management:
cat > description-pak <<EOF
* nodejs 2014.09.16, Version 0.10.32 (Stable)
* npm: Update to 1.4.28
EOF
#3. let checkinstall run the make-install-process
# --pkgname nodejs the name of the pkg in the package-management
# -D create also a .deb-file in the local-dir
# --gzman compress manpages
# must be run as root-user:
checkinstall -D --pkgname nodejs --gzman make install
# every installed file is now known by the package-management
# the package can be removed with:
# dpkg -r nodejs
# list of installed files:
less /var/lib/dpkg/info/nodejs.list
how can i find out the stable-version nb. ? i visited the the project-webpage and viewed the changed-log with 'git show'. i'm not sure if this is a recommended way.
Worked well for me, didn't take to long. Thank you!
It works great. Thank you!
Muy buen aporte, gracias!
I'd add --depth 1
to git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
so you don't download the whole repo:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
Works great, it didn't take so long for me, about 20 minutes or so to do the "make"
