Document how to install nodejs #278

Closed mglaman closed 3 years ago

mglaman commented 3 years ago

There isn't any documentation on installing Node to a build and having access to npm.

I read https://docs.tugboat.qa/setting-up-services/how-to-set-up-services/leverage-service-commands/, and assumed apt-get install nodejs would work, and it didn't.

I then found this sample: https://github.com/TugboatQA/Gatsby-Starter-Kit/blob/main/.tugboat/config.yml

Given most projects have compiled assets, this would be useful.

Good point @mglaman !

Thoughts about this @bchavet ? I think the instructions for installing node have varied over the years, so I wonder if we'd have something that was prone to becoming outdated.

It seems like this is standard:

        # Adding the NodeSource APT repository AND the PGP key for verifying packages
        - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

Just the version changes. For my project, we are using setup_10.x

An interesting alternative would be to follow CircleCI's pattern of image variants: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/circleci-images/#language-image-variants

For example: php:7-node-apache would give you PHP, 7.LATEST, Apache, PHP FPM, and Node

Adding this here:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
