Mac OSX Lion上安装Node环境

Node.js，很火吧，火的很。爱折腾，爱前沿的我肯定不能落下队伍，今天我就来分享下如何在本地架设Node.js的环境。

何为Node.js

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.

这是官网上的一段介绍。

还有一篇很好的博文详细介绍了Node，大家可以看看。Node.js 究竟是什么？

安装Node.js

在Mac Lion下，我还是用简单的Homebrew的包安装方法来安装，不会Homebrew的看这里。Mac开发者利器-Homebrew介绍及安装

1	$ brew install node

安装完成node，会提示你没有安装npm，并告诉你具体的安装办法。

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Homebrew has NOT installed npm. We recommend the following method of installation: curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh After installing, add the following path to your NODE_PATH environment variable to have npm libraries picked up: /usr/local/lib/node_modules

安装npm。

1	$ curl http://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

安装成功

1 2 3

/usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js npm@1.1.0-3 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm It worked

设置NODE_PATH环境变量

1	$ export NODE_PATH="/usr/local/lib/node_modules/"

测试

1	$ vi example.js

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

var http = require('http'); http.createServer(function (request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'}); response.end('Hello World\n'); }).listen(8888); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8888/');

1 2	$ node example.js Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8888/

测试成功

安装express框架

1 2 3

$ npm install -g express $ npm install -g express-generator $ express -V

新建一个Node server文件夹~/node_server

1 2 3

$ cd ~ $ mkdir node_server $ cd node_server

创建项目文件夹nodetest

1	$ express nodetest

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

create : nodetest create : nodetest/package.json create : nodetest/app.js create : nodetest/public create : nodetest/routes create : nodetest/routes/index.js create : nodetest/views create : nodetest/views/layout.jade create : nodetest/views/index.jade create : nodetest/public/javascripts create : nodetest/public/images create : nodetest/public/stylesheets create : nodetest/public/stylesheets/style.css dont forget to install dependencies: $ cd nodetest && npm install

安装npm

1 2	$ cd nodetest $ npm install

1 2	$ node app.js $ npm start

安装成功，浏览器输入http://127.0.0.1:3000/，即可看到效果。

npm中有许多我们需要的库，比如：

1 2	$ npm install jquery $ npm install yui
