puppet-nodejs

This module allows to install Node.js and NPM. This module is published on the Puppet Forge as willdurand/nodejs.

Installation

Get the module by cloning the repository:

git clone git://github.com/willdurand/puppet-nodejs.git modules/nodejs

Or use the Puppet Module Tool:

puppet module install willdurand/nodejs

Requirements

This modules depends on puppetlabs/stdlib and maestrodev/puppet-wget. You MUST clone them if you don't use the Puppet Module Tool:

git clone git://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib.git modules/stdlib
git clone git://github.com/maestrodev/puppet-wget.git modules/wget

Usage

Include the nodejs class:

include nodejs

You can specify a Node.js version by specifing it:

class { 'nodejs':
  version => 'v0.10.17',
}

You can install different versions of Node.js thanks to the nodejs::install definition:

nodejs::install { 'v0.10.17':
  version => 'v0.10.17',
}

Shortcuts are provided to easily install the 'latest' or 'stable' release by setting the version parameter to latest or stable. It will automatically look for the last release available.

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

By default, this module creates a symlink for the node binary (and npm) with Node.js version appended into /usr/local/bin e.g. /usr/local/bin/node-v0.10.17. You can change this behavior by using the target_dir parameter. Using the nodejs class, binary files are exposed to the system $PATH without a version string appended.

Also, this module installs NPM by default. You can set the with_npm parameter to false to not install it.

This module will make install Node.js by default, to use prebuilt versions distributed by Node.js on http://nodejs.org/dist/ set the make_install parameter to false.

class { 'nodejs':
  version => 'v0.10.17',
  make_install => false,
}

or

nodejs::install { 'v0.10.17':
  version => 'v0.10.17',
  make_install => false,
}

NPM Provider

This module adds a new provider: npm. You can use it as usual:

package { 'express':
  provider => npm
}
