yum install nodejs installs 200+ rpms but still won't run.
I folks.
I've tried installing node.js and socket.io as I want to see if they will
provide a solution to a problem I have.
However, the first problem I've got is that it won't run. Below are the yum
installs that I've tried. They look a bit iratic as I did them while trying
things, and reading a number of web pages. Between them they must have
installed over 200 rpms.
The result is that when I try testing the install using
git://github.com/learnboost/socket.io
I get the error shown below. This seems to be a known problem on Fedora, and
is designed to work this way. The solution is supposed to be found at
https://npmjs.org/doc/faq.html#I-installed-something-globally-but-I-can-t...
but all I get is HTTP error 404. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do
