Upgrade NodeJS #100

Closed grtjn closed 7 years ago

grtjn commented 8 years ago

Instead of installing the default (still stuck at 0.10), it should either download/install v4/v6 directly, or attempt to upgrade the default to v4/v6..

grtjn commented 8 years ago

To add to this: 0.10 is close to become unsupported: https://github.com/marklogic/slush-marklogic-node/issues/386

Sounds fairly easy. Considering moving forward with this. Steps should roughly be:

download gz from https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v4.x/
cd /usr/local
sudo tar --strip-components 1 -xzf xxx/node-v4.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

Latest procedures: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/

sudo yum remove -y nodejs npm
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs

Note the extra use of sudo, particularly in front of bash -, that is necessary..

Putting this behind an install_nodejs_lts flag, enabling it by default.
