NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions
This repository contains the source of the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions setup and support scripts.
For Debian / Ubuntu based distributions, see the deb directory for the source of the two setup scripts located at https://deb.nodesource.com/setup and https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_dev.
For Enterprise Linux based distributions (Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® / RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux, Fedora), see the rpm directory for the source of setup script located at https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup.
Please file an issue if you are experiencing a problem or would like to discuss something related to the distributions.
Pull requests are encouraged if you have changes you believe would improve the setup process or increase compatibility across Linux distributions.

Then install, as root:
yum install -y nodejs
Optional: install build tools
To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:
yum install gcc-c++ make
# or: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
To test an installation is working (and that the setup scripts are working!) use:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/test | bash -
