I've been wanting to mess with I/O Docs for some time now. I/O Docs requires node.js, npm, and redis. I hear the buzz around these technologies, but I have yet to use them. Although I found several posts and a package for installing node.js and npm on Mac OS X, each had issues. Mac OS X runs atop BSD Unix. So, while potentially intimidating, you can install all these yourself by running commands within Terminal.
Installing node.js
After much Googling I discovered an overwhelming set of node.js installation instructions. In a nutshell (no pun), this installs node.js under a newly created
local folder in the current user folder and adds that folder to your PATH so you can run node.js simply by typing node.
A few notes.
First, this installs node.js version 0.4.7. From what I read, this is currently the most compatible version. If you require a different version, I'll assume you know more about installing node.js than me.
Second, bash on Mac OS X uses
.bash_profile not .bashrc . I've modified the original script to reflect these changes.
Installing npm
Once you have installed node.js, you can install npm with just one command.
I should pass along the warning that this runs commands streamed from the internet. If you're paranoid about that kind of stuff, you should download and verify
install.sh first.
Installing redis
Redis was a straightforward install. For the most part I followed the redis quickstart guide. I modified the script below slightly to use
curl as Mac OS X does not include wget .
Note:
rm redis-stable.tar.gz is simple cleanup. sudo make install is optional as it adds the Redis commands to /usr/local/bin/.
Node JsIn closing
In time, you may need to update the versions for node.js and redis. Both offer a latest download. Feel free to substitute these into your script. The commands above should still work. Nonetheless, I tried to provide links to the original documentation when available.
