Documentation needed for Ubuntu setup #131

Closed jonathanthomas83 closed 8 years ago

jonathanthomas83 commented 8 years ago

Ubuntu version of nodejs is quite old (using apt-get install nodejs)

Setup fails at npm install, as the required version is 4.x.x.

Simple fix would be...

sudo apt-get install curl
curl --silent --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Then run npm install again, should work.

@edwardhorsford - want to incorporate this into your documentation improvements?

edwardhorsford commented 8 years ago

Already added :)

It looks like these commands are very similar to the install instructions given on the Node.js website. As they may update them in the future, I think it best to link to website directly.
