Raspberry Pi and Node.js

[@JeremyChone]

Very concise, condensed, and informative tutorial. Well done.

[@edc5068]

Great explanation! There are even some interesting trivial stuff like what a TAR file is and it's options, and how to use sshfs, etc. These side explanations worked well in the video because I can always rewind back to those factoids.

[@BenRangel]

Great explanation. I love how you fold in quick explanations as you go (like what tar stands for) Very helpful for people who are not used to Linux but still don't want to get too boggled down in details

[@thysdp]

Great tutorial! I got it all running without any problems, testing node v0.11.1 now, it compiles in about 3-4 hours.

[@gimposer]

Boss, yours is the one of the top most (top 5%) explanations I have heard ever... Thank you for such a brief, sharp and to the point tutorial. It was superb and yet covering so many things with such good explanation.

[@therealmanolis]

Awesome tutorial! Learned so much more than just running node.js on raspberry Pi!

[@salmander]

Dude, you are very good. Even though I thought I knew how to install node.js on RPI I was still hooked to your video till the end. It was very informative. Thank you.

[@chthirith]

Thanks for sharing! Your video is really descriptive and easy to follow. It gets me start up fast.

[@agorafobicoMusica]

This happens when someone really wants to share his knowledge! Thanks!

[@HermanWillems]

Wow, wonderfull explanation. I am working with tar for a while. But didn't knew it was tape archive. haha, also the SSH is very clear and understandble, why u use screen is understandable. How to make a shell script. Even this is a small movie, u explained alot basic Unix stuff. And it's about NodeJS and Raspberry Pi. Are u a teacher? because you got skills. I directly understood all. :)

[@Dash199t]

***** I think 99% of the teachers in the world can't explain good :D But I have to admit, that he is good!

[@emeckle86]

Well done. I hope that after a two hour compile, I will be able to make an image of the SD card and have a backup with Node.js already compiled so that it will only take 10-15 mins to recover if I mess something up. Thanks for doing such a good tutorial.

You can speed up dd by specifying a block size. Think of dd as moving water from a well to to trough, one bucket at a time. If you use a bigger bucket, you make fewer trips (less overhead). dd if=foo of=bar bar=1m

Advanced users or those who have already setup a connection to their own Raspberry Pi, can jump over to 7:50 and jump directly to the node.js installation.

[@luxxtek]

Great job, well done, thanks for taking your time to explain this. It helped me a lot setting up Node.js

[@LordFunzo]

Thank you so much, you can run a SHH using putty for windows if you dont have a Mac for anyone struggling.

[@ryanoc333]

Great tutorial, thanks! This process will take.. forever!

[@顏御軒]

wow , i learn a lot from this video ,i'm new in Rpi & node.js thanks for the tutorial ^_^

[@allannaranjojimenez]

Very good... Just what I needed.... Thanks a lot.!

[@unusuario5173]

You should consider making courses for a living. This was thoroughly explained. Give it a try.

[@andersinperson]

Thank you! This worked out great! However, for me, it took almost 4 hours to compile the nodejs source code. As another user suggests, use the precompiled Linux tar.gz's available on nodejs.org for a faster installation. :)

[@StephenPaulraj]

Thank you so much for sharing!! you save lot of my time

[@marcosFA1]

A very good tutorial! Well done! Thumbs up for the "This process will take.... forever. " LOL! Very good tutorial :-)

[@ChrisEllerby]

Very helpful, thanks so much!

[@AshwinThakur]

Excellent tutorial! Nicely explained.

[@bobtony6036]

looks like the node guys may have added official support for ARM after the code merge with IO, think you may be able to just do sudo apt-get to get the latest version. I know "sudo n stable" works for keeping it up to date.

[@DarthStand]

Excellent tutorial! Very helpful! thx

[@AdolfoBarreto75]

Nicely done...Thank you!

[@ambaiste]

Excellent! Well done.

[@bobtony6036]

very good tutorial

[@kebman]

I can haz passwords! :D Thank you for this great tutorial!

[@TechHackerKa]

thanks :) very very helpful :)

[@rafaelortiz6561]

That´s cool, but how do i install a Mongo database?

[@BureauForFreshness]

+rafael ortiz If your project is small enough to run on a raspberry pi, it's likely also small enough to not need a database. So, I recommend to just use the file system which is really easy in node. Make sure to take a look at async functions (via babel) and fs-promise. But if you think you need a database, the simplest way is to just connect to one via the network. You could even use a SaaS solution like mongolabs.

[@this.is.lapc506]

how about SQLite?

[@willx2917]

Cool

####### *PROBLEM FIXED* ###### When I tried to install screen using apt-get I received a few perl errors which also resulted in the Node installation not running correctly, I guess a few of you may have tackled the same problem so I'll post my fix below: SSH to your RBPi type the following command: apt-get install locales output should be like follows: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done locales is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 57 not upgraded. now input the following commands: export LANGUAGE='en_GB' export LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales after a few seconds you should be greeted with a blue GUI. tap return key on 'All locales' tap return key on en_GB.UTF-8 the apt-get installation should work just fine now. *IMPORTANT*: if you already installed screen and then did the following steps above, be sure to uninstall it using the following command: sudo apt-get --purge remove screen

[@lucianocaldas69]

well done thanks ;)

[@josemauricio9337]

Very Good!!

[@vedprakash-yq9vc]

Thanks ..!!

For puTTy Key Generator users trying to recreate the password-less login using public/private key encryption: When you come to save the private key, make sure the key passphrase remains blank. The downside is that the private key file remains un-encrypted on your windows machine. Have fun.

[@hereticstanlyhalo6916]

Found this tutorial for windows but without nodejs and instead a simple web server: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKvSm6p9bLR1bcU I am going to attempt to fuse this with that just to the part to get everything setup b4 this vid.
