A quick reminder on how to install nodejs, npm and cordova from scratch…
to complete the installation make sure you have sufficient rights to create flles in /usr/lib and /usr/bin (use sudo or su otherwise)
NodeJS
nodejs is a python based http engine
download nodejs sources
./configure make make install
NPM
npm is a packet manager (like pear in PHP world)
get sources then
./configure make install
The make is made by dummies and does not detect already built files so use « make install » directly to avoid building file twice.
Cordova
install cordova using the npm package manager:
npm install -g cordova
