NodeSource Node.js and io.js Binary Distributions

This repository contains the source of the NodeSource Node.js and io.js Binary Distributions setup and support scripts.

If you are looking for NodeSource's Enterprise-grade Node.js platform, N|Solid, please visit https://downloads.nodesource.com/

For Debian / Ubuntu based distributions, see the deb directory for the source of the two setup scripts located at https://deb.nodesource.com/setup and https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_dev.

For Enterprise Linux based distributions (Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® / RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux, Fedora), see the rpm directory for the source of setup script located at https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup.

Please file an issue if you are experiencing a problem or would like to discuss something related to the distributions.

Pull requests are encouraged if you have changes you believe would improve the setup process or increase compatibility across Linux distributions.

Optional: install build tools

To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:

e `sudo` on Ubuntu or run this as root on debian
get install -y build-essential

Manual installation

If you're not a fan of curl <url> | bash -, or are using an unsupported distribution, you can try a manual installation.

These instructions assume sudo is present, however some distributions do not include this command by default, particularly those focused on a minimal environment. In this case, you should install sudo or su to root to run the commands directly.

1. Remove the old PPA if it exists

This step is only required if you previously used Chris Lea's Node.js PPA.

d-apt-repository may not be present on some Ubuntu releases:
o apt-get install python-software-properties
 add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js
 rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list
 rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list.save

2. Add the NodeSource package signing key

 --silent https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
et can also be used:
et --quiet -O - https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

3. Add the desired NodeSource repository

place with the branch of Node.js or io.js you want to install: node_0.10, node_0.12, node_4.x, node_5.x, etc...
ION=node_6.x
e below command will set this correctly, but if lsb_release isn't available, you can set it manually:
For Debian distributions: wheezey, jessie, sid, etc...
For Ubuntu distributions: trusty, xenial, etc...
For Debian or Ubuntu derived distributions your best option is to use the codename corresponding to the upstream release your distribution is based off. This is an advanced scenario and unsupported if your distribution is not listed as supported per earlier in this README.
RO="$(lsb_release -s -c)"
 "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
 "deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

4. Update package lists and install Node.js

 apt-get update
 apt-get install nodejs

Enterprise Linux based distributions

Available architectures:

NodeSource will continue to maintain the following architectures and may add additional ones in the future.

Supported Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® versions:

Supported CentOS versions:

Supported CloudLinux versions:

Supported Fedora versions:

Equivalent versions of Korora Linux should also be supported.

Installation instructions

Current instructions for installing, as listed on the Node.js Wiki:

Note that the Node.js packages for EL 5 (RHEL5 and CentOS 5) depend on the EPEL repository being available. The setup script will check and provide instructions if it is not installed.

Run as root on RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux or Fedora:

NodeJS 9.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | bash -

NodeJS 8.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -

NodeJS 6.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -

NodeJS 4.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -

NodeJS 0.12.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | bash -

NodeJS 0.10.x

 -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash -

Then install, as root:

install -y nodejs

Optional: install build tools

To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:

install gcc-c++ make
: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Tests

To test an installation is working (and that the setup scripts are working!) use:

 -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/test | bash -

FAQ

Q: How do I use this repo when behind a proxy?

A: Please take a look at issue #9

Q: How do I pin to specific versions of Node.js?

A: Please take a look at issue #33

Q: I upgraded to a new major version of Node.js using the scripts, but the old version is still being installed, what is going on?

A: You probably need to clear out your package manager's cache. Take a look at issue #191

Q: I'm trying to install Node.js on Centos 5 and it is failing, why?

A: Due to the limitations of the compiler tool chain on Centos5, we currently can only support Node.js 0.10 on that release. See issue #190

Q: I'm seeing “Your distribution, identified as “.i686” or “.i386, is not currently supported, why?

A: Node.js 4.x and newer require a 64bit os for rpms. See issue #268

Q: Why have certain versions of platforms/releases stopped receiving updates to Node.js?

A: Unfortunately, newer versions of v8 require a modern compiler toolchain. On some platforms, such as ARM wheezy, that toolchain is not available. See issue #247

Q: What is the current status of IPv6 support?

A: See issue #170

Requested Distributions

We, unfortunately, do not have the resources necessary to support and test the plethora of Linux releases in the wild, so we rely on community members such as yourself to get support on your favorite distributions! This is a list of releases that have been requested by the community. If you are interested in contributing to this project, this would be a great place to start!
