Hey There!🙋‍

This article is about installing Node on a Unix/Linux based system. We are using NVM to do this

You can also follow this video by me....(Don't forget to subscribe!)

This guide can be followed on: > 1) Linux based distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora > 2) Unix distros MacOS ... etc.

Step 1

Visit https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm to visit nvm's github repository "Nvm github"

Now we can scroll down untill we find a list of commands

Step 2

Now, we just have to run these commands.

Command 1: Use curl/Wget to run the Install/Update script.

Using Curl:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

Using Wget:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash

We have to export some ENV (Enviornment variables)... Run these 2 commands

export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"

sh [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Step 3

Use NVM to install Node!

Now we have successfully installed NVM. Time to use It.

To install the latest LTS version of node, run:

nvm install --lts

To install latest version of node, Run:

nvm install node

To install a specific version of node, run:

nvm install 12.0.0 # This istalls node v12.0.0

To use a specific version:

nvm use 12.0.0 # Uses node v12.0.0

That's It! Now you have node running on your system!

My new Website

math4u.co.in

This is a website created for my Mom

Here is the details of the webapp.

Technologies used:

Nodejs: To build the server for the backend of the web application and to install npm packages

Bootstrap: To get the site look better with pre made css

NPM PACKAGES:

Body parser : To parse the text from the form , to store it in the mongodb database and send an email.

npm install body-parser

Express: For building the server ,make it listen in different ports and specify routes like `/trial` or `/class10`

npm install express

Nodemailer :To send an email when the form is submitted, with its contents.

npm install nodemailer

MongoDB: All the trial registrations are stored in MongoDB

npm install mongodb

Mongoose: To create models and schemas in order to store it in the mongodb database.

npm install mongoose

Nodemon : In order to restart the server when the server's javascript files are modified.

npm install -g nodemon

WEB HOSTING

The web application is hosted on a Microsoft Azure app service plan (Web App)

Applications Used to develop the website:

## IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Code
## Browser: Google Chrome

Command Line: Bash Shell on Windows on Git

I have also dockerized the app into a container.

I started with game development in UNITY scripted with C# and created multiple 2D&3D games. One of his game is published in play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codnas.neonrails

Currently I am interested in improving my skills in Python and JavaScript. Also learning about containers(docker) and container orchestration (kubernetes).

Do visit the website and let me know your feedback.
