Install NodeJs,npm,bower,yoeman,grunt without sudo
Node.js® is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. - http://nodejs.org/
Nodejs comes with a package manger call npm (Node package manger). This command line tool is used to install other tools like bower,yoeman,grunt-cli etc. Nodejs can be easily installed using the Ubuntu package manger apt-get. One of my friend has a short but good post of it (Install bower.).
In my post I will show how to install nodejs and some other tools like bower install in your Ubuntu without 'sudo'.
1. Get the latest nodejs from this site.Make sure you get the Linux version here and select the proper arch type,32bit or 64bit.
2.Extract the content to a directory that you have access.Ex. In my case I use
~/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64
The node directory name may change according to the version and archtype you are getting.By the time I write this its version 0.10.31.
here the directory name is important as we want it later to install other tools.
3.Now we need to add the node and nmp to the system environment.Edit .bashrc (which is hidden by default in ~/.bashrc). Add the following line to the code.
#NodeJs
export PATH=
In my case this is.
#NodeJs
export PATH=/home/randika/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64/bin:$PATH
4. Save the file. Launch a terminal and type
npm -v
you should get the version number of the node that you have installed.
5. To install other tools using npm we can use,
nmp install [package name]
For example if I want to install bower using npm,
npm install bower -g --prefix ~/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64/
6. Check for installed version of bower using
bower -v
7. Likewise you can install Yeoman and Grunt using nmp.
npm install yo -g --prefix ~/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64/
npm install grunt-cli -g --prefix ~/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64/
Update:
You can set the prefix path in npm by
npm config set prefix
in my case its
npm config set prefix ~/Programming/node-v0.10.31-linux-x64/

Spring Boot
Now that heavy configurations are simplified with Spring Boot Project. You can go to Spring Boot website and get more information about it. But I will work on a full application develop with this project and cover more interesting parts in a series of posts later. Till that you can follow the sample guides that in the website. I highly recommend to download and install Spring Suite Tools witch is very easy to develop Spring applications.
Update:
Check my Youtube chanel for the video guide lines.
