nodejs is no longer available

[spuder]

Nodejs is no longer part of the CentOS repos.

Attempting to run the module gives the following error

I'm not sure the question or problem. You will need to make the nodejs package available to your machine. I do it by running my own repo for packages I have built myself. The link you provided describes how to build your own nodejs package with frpm, another option is to use a spec file and RedHat's tools - here's one on GH: https://github.com/kazuhisya/nodejs-rpm

nodejs is available on epel repo for centos

NodeJS is also available via Software Collections for Red Hat and derivatives. I've just had a pull request accepted by Puppet Labs for their nodejs module to support parameterization of package names, such that Red Hat users can use that module to install nodejs from Software Collections.
