node setup on RHEL6

These are the steps I used today to get node installed and working on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 machine. Note that the first step can cause potential issues, so you should understand and weigh those up. You can skip the first step, it just means you will have to run global module installs (npm install -g ...) with elevated permissions (sudo/su).

1. change owner of /usr/local so that npm install -g will Just Work. I think this has to go before installing node so that everything works properly.

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

If you just want to watch the talk, you don't need anything. If you want to follow along or play around with webpack and/or browserify at the camp, I recommend preinstalling the following before setting out.

Preinstallation

Just in case the npm mirror is not available at the camp, you can preinstall the following if you want to play around with browserify and webpack:

install nodejs

nodejs is the runtime on which webpack and browserify run (just in case youmanaged not to hear about it somehow)
