How to Compile/Install Node.Js(Could Not Configure a Cxx Compiler!) (Ubuntu)

How to compile/install node.js(could not configure a cxx compiler!) (Ubuntu).

One-liner to install all needed dependencies(curl and git are not really needed, but are very useful and also needed if you install via nvm).

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev curl git-core

Last two dependencies are not always needed, but installing them is really usefull anyway and you probably need it later anyway.

To only install cxx compiler

sudo apt-get install build-essential

If openssl is missing

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Missing node-waf when installing nowjs

Try to install nodejs-dev. node-waf belongs to that package

Node.js - tutorials on getting it to work with Cygwin on a Vista machine

People seem to run into problems with Cygwin because they think that they are using a Windows machine.

If you install Cygwin, and open a bash shell prompt using the Cygwin icon, you are now in a UNIX environment and everything works the same as it would on UNIX. That includes building node.js.

I think you added some info to the question and I can see your problem. Yes, normally on Cygwin it has been possible to build node.js just as you would on any UNIX system, but that is no longer possible on Windows 7. Before running ./configure you have to:

1. Close all cygwin apps.
2. Double-click on C:\Cygwin\bin\ash.exe
3. Run ./rebaseall and when it completes, run ./perlrebase.
4. exit from the ash shell window.

At this point Cygwin will be back to normal and you can ./configure and make install.

Problem installing node on Mac OSX 10.6.7

When you install Mac OS X Developer Tools (XCode, etc) ensure you have the Unix Tools option checked. I had to remember to install Developer Tools/Unix tools when I set up my new MBP and it resolved this error for me.

Optionally, you could remove and try installing with Homebrew. However, it still has the same requirements (XCode/Dev Tools) so ensure that you have those installed.

Hope this helps.

Help on installing Node.js on Ubuntu 10.04 from terminal?

You should just be able to run the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

(Also, have a read of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for a bit more background info, etc.)

npm install error - MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component VCBuild.exe

Try this from cmd line as Administrator

optional part, if you need to use a proxy:

set HTTP_PROXY=http://login:password@your-proxy-host:your-proxy-port
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://login:password@your-proxy-host:your-proxy-port

run this:

npm install -g --production windows-build-tools

No need for Visual Studio. This has what you need.

nvm: not able to install v8.6.0, need to install old version of nodejs not able to do it, (macos bigsur)

I have solved this problem by creating a new terminal, as a rosetta terminal

you can create a rosetta terminal by using the following procedure

Applications -> Utilities -> right click on terminal and duplicate -> right click on duplicate terminal -> Get info -> select open using Rosetta and rename terminal to rosetta-terminal

install NVM through rosetta-terminal,
Now install the required node versions.
