Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now.

. $HOME/.profile

Run nvm install script. The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm and adds the source line to your profile.

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash

Install Node.js latest version via npm. There is no binary for FreeBSD, so build takes a while.

nvm install `nvm version-remote`

Print Node.js and npm version

node -v
npm -v

pm2.md

Run PM2 as service on FreeBSD

Create PM2 startup script

npm install -g pm2

cat <<EOT > /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pm2
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: pm2
# REQUIRE: NETWORK
# KEYWORD: shutdown
#
 
. /etc/rc.subr
 
name=pm2
rcvar=pm2_enable
 
PM2=$(which pm2)
 
load_rc_config \$name
 
start_cmd="pm2_start"
stop_cmd="pm2_stop"
restart_cmd="pm2_restart"
 
: \${pm2_enable="NO"}
: \${pm2_user="root"}
 
pm2_start()
{
        CMD="\$PM2 resurrect"
        su -l \${pm2_user} -c "\${CMD}"
 
}
 
pm2_stop()
{
        CMD="\${PM2} dump && \${PM2} delete all && \${PM2} kill"
        su -l \${pm2_user} -c "\${CMD}"
}
 
pm2_restart()
{
        CMD="pm2_stop && pm2_start"
        su -l \${pm2_user} -c "\${CMD}"
}
 
pm2_reload()
{
        CMD="\$PM2 reload all"
        su -l \${pm2_user} -c "\${CMD}"
}
 
run_rc_command "\$1"

Make the file executable with:

chmod +x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pm2

Safely edit system rc.conf file

sysrc pm2_enable="YES"
sysrc pm2_user="root"
