Difficult to use NodeJS with mraa and upm #501

Closed luigisaetta closed 8 years ago

luigisaetta commented 8 years ago

The version of NodeJS shipped with Edison is 0.10. This is not really a stable version and not usable for serious things. The upgrade to a more recent and stable version (even 0.12.7) is not easy and then you enter in a rather complicated voyage to have mraa and upm working with Node. The best solution would be definitively ship with the Image at least a Node4 (LTS). In the meantime, you should provide an end-to-end documentation on how to create a Node environment where you can do serous developments and test.

You're preaching to the choir (and tbh the wrong place communities.intel.com is the right place)

I believe @alext's repo has 0.12.x pkgs. Until then you'll have to compile your own node version. Sorry! On 29 Apr 2016 7:33 p.m., "luigisaetta" notifications@github.com wrote:

Well, I have already posted on communities.intel.com, and there the suggestion was: "open an issue on github".

xbolshe commented 8 years ago

Looking at https://communities.intel.com/thread/101617 need to differentiate the issues:

  1. issue with old NodeJS version
  2. issue with MRAA
  3. issue with UPM
  4. issue with MQTT

Here is a place to rise MRAA components' issues only. Questions with NodeJS version issue in the Edison image need to address on communities.intel.com. Information how to compile NodeJS you may find on https://nodejs.org

@luigisaetta, do you want to pursue mraa-related pieces further or should we close this one?

luigisaetta commented 8 years ago

OK, you can close.
