[nodejs] should I install io.js or node.js?

[Carlos Carcamo]

Hello all.

Since the node.js foundation is a reality, I wonder what should I install on my new server? the last version of io.js or the last version of node.js?

What are your recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure which one has to do with the other, but install the version compatible with the extensions you're using and that supports the features you need.

I personally love io.js 2.0; some great work went into that release and it's fast and stable for me.

Either way you go, make sure you update npm afterward. Being on the latest there is a good thing.

It doesn't matter as they will merge the both and no matter which one you have installed, you will be able with ease to update to the single version that will stay at the end.

One thing to keep in mind is to have the same platform to develop on and to deploy on (ie. server and your local workstation). Iojs and node.js have some (few) modules that do not work well accross the platforms, so you'd have to match those. Example, with some versions of mongoose I've had issues - stuff precompiled for Node would not work on Io or the other way around. Also, gulp has had some issues.

Another thing is stability. I would say iojs is stable, but they themselves are saying it's not production ready. I know that's just CYA talk, but I've listened to that advice and I use Node on production.
