npm not running on CentOS

[Reza Razavipour]

I am trying to install node on `

    CentOS 2.6.31.11-an_centos6-v42 #3 SMP Thu Oct 31 12:17:24 PDT 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I download the tar file from nodejs.org. 

    tar -xf node-v0.10.23.tar.gz

    cd node-v0.10.23

    ./configure

    make

I see node in node-v0.10.23/node pointing to out/Release/node. So node runs and all is well. npm is not working though. Not sure why. 

I only see npm below node-v0.10.23, only in

    ./deps/npm

    ./deps/npm/bin/npm

    ./tools/msvs/npm

    ./doc/blog/npm

so npm is not working so no npm install. Am I missing a step?

You forgot 'sudo make install'.  Then both node and npm will be in your $PATH.

If you try to execute npm directly without that, it won't be able to find node. If you really don't want to install it, you'll have to run it like './out/Release/node deps/npm/cli.js' or fix its shebang line for it to work.

Note that on CentOS you can just enable EPEL and 'sudo yum install npm' also. :-)
