Node.js dependency question #6

Closed timrdf closed 10 years ago

timrdf commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I'm not a node.js'er...

https://github.com/mmlab/Git2PROV#installation mentions to use "npm", but my Ubuntu server fails to show any good leads for which npm and apt-cache search npm.

Is npm just part of installing node.js?

I'd appreciate another one-liner in the install section to hint towards what a non-node.js'er needs to do to get up and running with the dependencies.

Thanks! Tim

p.s. FWIW, I'm on an archaic VM farm that runs Ubuntu 10.04... is that why it's not available via apt-get?

Hi @timrdf,

npm is Node's package manager. So if you install Node, then it will work. I always compile Node from source on Ubuntu, it moves faster than the apt-get sources.

Good luck with the installation!
