First you'll need to make sure your system has a c++ compiler. For OSX, XCode will work, for Ubuntu, the build-essential and libssl-dev packages work.

To install create a folder somewhere in your filesystem with the "`nvm.sh`" file inside it. I put mine in a folder called "`.nvm`".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or if you have `git` installed, then just clone it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-05-07 01:51:43 +08:00
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm

|
|
|
To activate nvm, you need to source it from your bash shell

|
|
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I always add this line to my ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file to have it automatically sources upon login.
|
|
|
|
|
Often I also put in a line to use a specific version of node.

To download, compile, and install the v0.2.5 release of node do this:
|
2010-04-16 01:00:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2010-12-11 03:32:16 +08:00
|
|
|
nvm install v0.2.5
|
2010-04-16 01:00:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then in any new shell just use the installed version:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-12-11 03:32:16 +08:00
|
|
|
nvm use v0.2.5
|
2010-04-16 01:00:34 +08:00
|
|

|
2010-12-11 03:32:16 +08:00
