Standard NodeJS config with NVM
Raw
Node_config.md

Node configuration.

Update NPM version with the following command

npm update -g npm

Download NVM (Node Version Manager), which will help you to use the correct version of NodeJS

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash

In order to activate the NVM install, run the following command:

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

To use a specific NodeJS version, you need to have nvm install the correct version and then you need to tell nvm to right version:

nvm install 4.2.4 && nvm use 4.2.4

If you get permission errors, try this, which will correct permission errors:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}
