Help people install node.js

[subtleGradient]

This bundle now requires node.js.

I need to add some documentation describing how to install it and how to configure your PATH in TextMate.

[por]

EDIT: Fixed this by going to TextMate → Preferences → Advanced → Shell Variables and adding /usr/local/bin, basically the path to where node lives on my machine ($which node).

I have node.js installed with brew, but getting this error on Cmd+S. Is that related to this issue?

Couldn't find node

Locations searched:

/Users/tim/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/javascript-tools.tmbundle/Support/bin
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin

thx! That really grinded my gears :)

Ah, this was quite annoying. I have my node install in another place too and had no idea where to start looking to fix this, other than reinstalling Node in one of those directories.

[heygambo]

I installed Node using Brew and put this into my PATH Shell Variable:

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

[kristoferjoseph]

NOTE: you need to remove the last node from which node.
example:
which node returns /Users/foo/local/node/bin/node ( or something similar ) what you put in at the end of your PATH variable in Textmates advanced preferences panel is /Users/foo/local/node/bin

I'm still having issues with the "JSHint" pop up dialog box when saving a js file

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/javascript-tools.tmbundle/Support/bin
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/lib/node
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin

I have node installed in /usr/local/lib/node. I also added that to my TextMate's PATH variable but that pop up is still showing that error.

[kristoferjoseph]

Path needs to be set in TM path as /usr/local/lib/node/bin. At least that was what worked for me.

[dtan]

pointing it to /usr/local/lib/node/bin still doesn't work for me. in the interim, i've just disabled the JSHint keyboard shortcut

I installed on Macports by:

• From the Terminal: sudo port install nodejs
• Made a cup of tea
• In TextMate prefs > Advanced > Shell Variables I already had a PATH variable, so I double clicked on the value and appended :/opt/local/bin
• Close TextMate prefs

Worked straightaway for me. YMMV.

I used homebrew. And none of the above paths work :(

[subtleGradient]

Now that node.js has a proper Mac installer, I highly recommend that everyone install it that way.

[Laner]

Great!
But to no avail. Installed it this way, but no go in Textmate :(

[subtleGradient]

@Laner

1. open Terminal.app
2. type echo $PATH

Mine returns…

iMac:~ thomas$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

If you don't have /usr/local/bin in your $PATH then you have something goofed up in your bash profile somehow.

tl;dr — make it work in the Terminal and it should Just Work™ in TextMate

[Laner]

Hmmm. /usr/local/bin is in the path. Weird. All I want is something like labs.codecademy.com for my mac. Any suggestions?

[subtleGradient]

@Laner this bundle doesn't really do anything quite like that.

[Laner]

@subtleGradient To bad. But is there a way to test run js from textmate and get console.logs and alert/prompts?

[subtleGradient]

Oh of course. I have various Run JavaScript commands that execute code in WebKit or Node.js or even PhantomJS.

[Laner]

I can't get node.js to work.
How do I run js through webkit, if you don't mind me asking

[subtleGradient]

That's in a different bundle
