I am missing a link to /usr/local/bin/node

[arabus4chip]

i have a link to /usr/local/bin/node-v0.10.25 from /usr/local/node/node-v0.10.25/bin/node
But now i cant just use "node" in further recipes and don't know how to create that as i need the version number that is only available in the module...

Did i miss something?

hey!

do you need multiple installed versions of node? If not use the class instead of the define!
The class is managing /usr/local/bin/node and /usr/local/bin/npm
e.g.

class { 'nodejs':
  version => 'stable',
}

@grafjo We probably need to make things clear in the README. WDYT?

[grafjo]

@willdurand hope this will solve this issue?

[arabus4chip]

First: Thanks for the quick answer,
but...

i used a class already:

 class { 'nodejs':
      version => 'stable',
      make_install => false,
      target_dir => "/usr/local/bin",
   }

the target_dir was an attempt to get it installing the node bin.
Perhaps the make_install dies sth differently?

Thanks....

Oh, no i need only one version of node but i wanted the latest stable, so version = stable was in there form the beginning.

@willdurand I removed /usr/local/bin/node, it's now /usr/local/node/node-default/bin/node and published via $PATH. Just node-$version is linked to target_dir

[arabus4chip]

Got it.
That's a tiny bit hard to find, but makes sense...

i think my tests with "vagrant provision" failed because the PATH was not updated in the ssh shell session.
"vagrant destroay && vagrant up" worked like intended.

Thanks for the clarification.

Just updated the README to be more clear on this point
