Ivy - node in a hurry
Ivy :the idea of a portable environment taken to the extreme. Each ivy instance has its copy of node and all your libraries. The node version and bundled libraries are controlled via git submodules.Setup/Install
It's super easy to install with a single line. If you havewget
then do:wget -O- http://github.com/creationix/ivy/raw/master/utils/setup.sh | sh
For curl
do:curl -# http://github.com/creationix/ivy/raw/master/utils/setup.sh | sh
And then after either case, you can start up ivy
right away:./ivy/bin/node
Try require('connect')
to make sure the bundled libraries are available.If you add
/ivy/bin
to your executable path then it's "installed". That's all it takes!Module management
Installing new modules, updating existing modules, and changing node versions is all done via the git submodules in/modules/*
and /ivy-bin
. Currently there are no utilities to automate this, but there are plans to integrate NPM somehow to play nice with the Ivy environment.Platforms
Currently I bundle two platforms of node.- node-osx - This is built on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) in 64-bit mode
- node-linux - This is built on latest Ubuntu in 32-bit mode.
