NodeSource Node.js and io.js Binary Distributions

Linux Distributions

This repository contains the source of the NodeSource Node.js and io.js Binary Distributions setup and support scripts.

If you are looking for NodeSource's Enterprise-grade Node.js platform, N|Solid, please visit https://downloads.nodesource.com/

For Debian / Ubuntu based distributions, see the deb directory for the source of the two setup scripts located at https://deb.nodesource.com/setup and https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_dev.

For Enterprise Linux based distributions (Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® / RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux, Fedora), see the rpm directory for the source of setup script located at https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup.

Please file an issue if you are experiencing a problem or would like to discuss something related to the distributions.

Pull requests are encouraged if you have changes you believe would improve the setup process or increase compatibility across Linux distributions.

apt-get install -y build-essential

Manual installation

If you're not a fan of curl <url> | bash -, or you want to try use the repository for your unsupported distribution, try a manual install. The setup script performs the following steps:

In the commands below you should replace the following placeholders:

  • {DISTRO}: replace with the codename of your distro, which will be something like: wheezy, jessie, sid or precise, trusty, utopic, vivid (or other supported Ubuntu or Debian distro)
  • {VERSION}: replace with the version of Node.js or io.js you want to install, it should take the following form: node_0.10, node_0.12 or iojs_1.x, iojs_2.x, etc.

1. Remove the old PPA if it exists

# add-apt-repository may not exist on some distributions
add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list

2. Add the NodeSource signing key

curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
# if curl is not available:
wget -qO- https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -

3. Add the repositories to your sources.list

echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/{VERSION} {DISTRO} main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/{VERSION} {DISTRO} main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

Then you should be able to apt-get update and apt-get install nodejs.

Installation instructions

Current instructions for installing, as listed on the Node.js Wiki:

Note that the Node.js packages for EL 5 (RHEL5 and CentOS 5) depend on the EPEL repository being available. The setup script will check and provide instructions if it is not installed.

Run as root on RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux or Fedora:

NodeJS 5.x

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | bash -

NodeJS 4.x

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -

NodeJS 0.12.x

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | bash -

NodeJS 0.10.x

curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash -

Then install, as root:

yum install -y nodejs

Optional: install build tools

To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:

yum install gcc-c++ make
# or: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Tests

To test an installation is working (and that the setup scripts are working!) use:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/test | bash -
