Dependencies script assumes Debian-based distro

[Sergio Uve]

Hi,

I just tried to boot up NodeOs on one of my Fedora machines. I couldn't run the
install-dependencies script since it assumes a Debian-based system, and relies on
apt-get to install the required dependencies.

Is there a reason behind this? Or is it simply because all the NodeOs development
happens to be done in Debian-based systems/virtual boxes?

Well... not exactly Debian-based distros, but Ubuntu based ;-) There was some adaptations for OSX and Arch Linux, so there should not be too much problems in adapt it to RPM-based systems. As usual, pull-requests are welcome :-)

I'll make some tweaks to the script then.

Also, since we are in the subject, has nvm been considered for the installation/management of Node?

[Jesús Leganés-Combarro]

We use our own compilation of Node.js using musl library, you can get it with the nodeos-nodejs package.

I've create a pull request for this (#383).
Im checking for the Release file in the /etc folder
(e.g. /etc/arch-release) i've just copied the dependencies since arch needs all the dependencies that i've listed on the wiki and so i copied Thema to gentoo

This should be already fixed in master, clossing.
