If you are new to Node.js and still exploring, you might be very confused with the tons of ways to install it. While some guides only cover Linux or Windows, if you want to get started playing with Node.js and you are using a Mac with the latest updates installed, then this guide is for you! Well then, let's get started!

The Recovery HD volume can start up your Mac in an emergency and provide access to troubleshooting utilities as well as allow you to reinstall OS X. Use the Recovery HD Volume to Reinstall or Troubleshoot OS X. Which can be used to install a new copy of the OS on your Mac. If you wish to activate TextMate from an ssh session you can do so by copying the rmate (ruby) script to the server you are logged into. The script will connect back to TextMate running on your Mac so you should setup an ssh tunnel (as your Mac is likely behind NAT).

NVM NVM (Node Version Manager): Simple bash script to manage multiple active Node.js versions For our convenience, we will be using NVM, it's a very simple command line tool that lets us download, update, and switch to any Node version available with just a few commands, isn't that neat? Installing NVM To Install NVM on the Mac, let's start by opening: TERMINAL, you can do that by clicking the FINDER button in the Mac OS interface. Then type terminal and press the enter key on your keyboard. Once it's open and running, you should see the TERMINAL window similar to this. From here we can now install NVM by typing or copying these lines: touch ~/.bash_profile curl -o- bash And NVM should now be installed in your system! Now you will have to re-open your TERMINAL to actually use NVM, so go ahead and close TERMINAL and open it again (like you did before!) We can verify if NVM has been successfully installed by typing this command: nvm --version The output should look something like this: Installling Node on Mac Now we are ready to actually install Node!

(Yes I know, you thought it was over, did you?) You are probably thinking what?!? More commands? I can't wait anymore!!! Well no worries, you can easily install NodeJS with nvm in just two steps. Step 1: Type and enter nvm ls-remote nvm ls-remote You should see a list of all available versions of NodeJS.

As you can see, I currently have version 7.1.0 of Node.js installed (indicated by the arrow and color highlight). Mac my microphone wont work for chrome windows 10. Step 2: Now if you wanted to install v7.2.0, it would be as easy as typing: nvm install 7.2.0 nvm install 7.2.0 And that's it! You already have the latest version of Node.js installed very easily!

Verifying installation You can verify that you really have Node.js installed by typing: `node -v' node -v And as expected it will show you the Node.js version you just installed. Wrapping up Congratulations, You have NodeJS installed. For other Node.js beginner tutorials, you can read,,.

• • • • • Comparing Sublime and Github’s Atom in 10 major categories Sublime has been the undisputed text editing champion for a while now. But a new contender – GitHub’s Atom – is stepping into the spotlight, making noise and trying to steal the not-so-old champion’s thunder. Some 30 versions after the release of Atom’s beta, we felt it would be a good time to test these two head-to-head. On the left corner, in the black shorts with the orange stripes – the long standing champion Sublime. In the green corner – the young and “hackable” contender – GitHub’s Atom. Here at we already have a few new Atom fans and the battle is raging.

We’re used to fighting, so we took our chances with a different kind of fight – Text Editor Battles! Let’s get started: 1. Setting up Both editors are cross platform and available for Windows, Linux and OS X. Sublime’s stable version is 2.0.2, and version 3.0 is in beta for over a year now.

As with the recent beta of Atom (v0.120), you’ll have to jump through some hoops for Windows and Linux. On windows it’s recommended to install through the package manager and on Linux you’ll have to build it yourself. One thing you’ll quickly notice is that Atom weighs well over 60Mb while Sublime weighs 6x less. We’ll talk about that when we’ll drill down into performance. Once installed, you’re ready to roll. Bottom line: Installation is easier with Sublime, but Atom is still in beta. It starts with a little peek at Atom If you’re already familiar with Sublime, Atom will feel just like home.
