I'm trying to set up an environment where I can start messing around with Node.js. My first goal is to run one of the examples from Node Cookbook, by David Clements, and make some changes to it.
One of the steps in the example is to run 'hotnode script.js'. I understand what this is supposed to do, but I can't get it to work. The command processor says "'hotnode' is not recognized as an internal or external command," etc. (My environment is Windows 7.) OK, so hotnode isn't installed as part of the basic Node.js package. I knew that npm is the Node.js installer, so I looked up how to use it and entered 'npm install hotnode'. I got this response: npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/hotnode npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/hotnode npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/hotnode/-/hotnode-0.0.8.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/hotnode/-/hotnode-0.0.8.tgz npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/watch/0.5.0 npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/watch/0.5.0 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/watch/-/watch-0.5.0.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/watch/-/watch-0.5.0.tgz [email protected] node_modules\hotnode └── [email protected] I haven't figured out what all of that stuff means, but it looks like a bunch of normal progress messages. When I run hotnode, though, I still get the "...is not recognized" error. I searched the Node.js installation directory for hotnode.exe and didn't find it. I saw that in addition to the Node.js program directory, the Node.js installer added the pathname C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm to the system path. I looked at that directory and found that it was empty. So, npm says it installed hotnode successfully, but didn't put it anyplace where I can use it or find it. What am I missing here? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
