Using global packages with nodejs under MacOS

Install global packages using npm, with something like:

npm install express -g

The be sure to edit ~/.profile to include:

export NODE_PATH=”/usr/local/lib/node_modules”

Incidentally, did we post something like this before? Maybe…

Trello

Since using Trello, we’re been tumbling less.

I think there’s a correlation, because we just add our notes to cards in Trello. It’s handy (because everything is task-focused and in one place), but not so good for external communication.

In related news, Trello is fantastic for managing projects with small teams. You should use it!

This page wasn’t easily found via Google… so I’ll link it her for handy reference! Contains/links to all the specs for home screen icons and startup images.

Guide to setting up nodejs on EC2

I was going to start writing this, but it already exists on the Internet! Yay! :D

Importing SVN to bitbucket

$ svn export <svn_url> <tmpdir>

$ cd <tmpdir>

$ git init

$ git add .

$ git commit -m "Import from SVN"

$ git push git@bitbucket.org:<username>/<repo> master

You’ll also need to set up a SSH key on your account for your machine before you can push changes up to the repo. 

Note that this is an SVN export so it only imports the current version and doesn’t include the history of the repo.

Setting up an app prototyping server on Amazon EC2

We’re getting closer to Alpha testing for a webapp, and want to get some “real-world” testing (rather than just on the local network). So we’re sticking it on the cloud (via Amazon EC2) and seeing what happens.

The server software requires nodejs, with express, jade, stylus, and socketio. We’re also going to be running an infinote (collaborative code editing) server, which will sync code to a live instance of the app server, and periodically push changes to a git repository hosted on bitbucket.

So yeah… updates this week will likely be links and guides for getting this stuff done. ;)

It’s been an intense coding day.

Everyone is tired.
