Installing node on raspberry pi

insall_node_raspbery.txt

node -v
v0.10.29
sudo su
apt-get remove nodered -y
apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
apt-get remove npm  -y # if you installed npm

cd /usr/src
wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb
# Check installation
node -v
npm -v

Fixing permissions:

Logged as pi: 

 mkdir ~/.npm-global
 
 npm config set prefix '/home/pi/.npm-global'

Make shure we have : "export PATH=/home/pi/.npm-global/bin:$PATH" in .bashrc

sudo npm install -g npm@5.3.0


# Uninstall: 

sudo aptitude remove node
sudo rm -rf /home/pi/.npm && sudo rm -rf /home/pi/.npm-global && sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
 

# Optional:

To be able to run globaly installed package with sudo edit: 

/etc/sudoers

Defaults    secure_path="/home/pi/.npm-global/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
