Detailed steps for installing nodejs environment and path configuration in Linux

There are two ways to install nodejs in linux. One is simple, just unzip it and use it; the other is to download the source code, compile it, and install it through make and make install commands.

Here we only talk about the first one, which is simple and convenient. There is no need to execute make or make install. Here are the steps:

1. Determine the Linux system you are using, and then download the corresponding compressed package. Here I downloaded node-v6.11.2-linux-x64.tar.xz

2. Upload to the Linux related path, usually /usr/local/, and execute the following command

xz -d node-xxxx.tar.xz --- Extract tar.xz into a tar file

tar -xvf node-xxxx.tar --- Extract the tar file into a folder

mv node-xxx node ----Change the name of the folder to node

3. Check whether the installation is successful

4. Configure soft links so that node commands can be used globally

ln -s /usr/local/node/bin/node /usr/bin/node --map the node source file to the node file under usr/bin

ln -s /usr/local/node/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm

5. Configure the node file installation path

Enter the /usr/local/node/ path:

mkdirnode_global

mkdirnode_cache

npm config set prefix "node_global"

npm config set cache "node_cache"

6. When you feel that npm is slow, you can install cnpm

npm install cnpm -g --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

By the way, you can check whether the global installation -g is installed in the node_global file according to the previous settings.

To use cnpm globally as follows, remember to configure a soft link.
