Install NodeBB on Amazon Ec2

tango

Has anyone got this going?

Amazon Support tell me their Linux version is close to Centos 6 so I have been following the NodeBB Installation guide by OS for Centos.
I plan on using Mongo which is a different server in the network. NGINX is another separate server.
I cant get past step

After cloning the repository, obtain all of the dependencies required by NodeBB:

when I run npm install from inside the nodebb directory I get error message

-bash: npm: command not found

Ive tried various sudo & yum versikons as well as running from the root but nothing works.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

@tango is npm installed? Try npm -v. If not, look up how to install Node on centos

tango

Thanks @PitaJ

I installed Node manually this way which worked perfect. Then continued with NodeBB guide & NPM install worked

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash
Reboot machine
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Determine what version of Node to install
nvm install 6.10.3
check version is installed by running
node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

Thank you

Todd
