Installfest for Windows, Step 3: Node

These directions (and all following directions) REQUIRE that you successfully installed Linux in the first step.

Node.js

Inside of a bash shell (i.e., after running bash):

$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs-legacy
$ sudo apt-get install -y npm

$ sudo npm install -g nodemon

MongoDB

  1. Follow the MongoDB instructions for Ubuntu through the end. After finishing the installation, run which mongod (yes, mongod with a d) to check that it's installed.

  2. Run

$ cd /
$ sudo mkdir -p data/db
$ sudo chown -R YOUR-USERNAME-HERE data/db

to set up the directory where MongoDB will store its data.
