Install Node.js applications
Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and MacOS) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). On OS X VMs, the installation directory is /opt/bitnami and OS X VM users can click the “Open Terminal” button to run commands. Learn more about the Bitnami stack environment and about OS X VMs.
NOTE: To avoid a conflict between two or more Node.js applications attempting to use the same port, modify the application settings as needed to use a different port for each application.
To install a Node.js application, first ensure that all dependences are satisfied. Many applications will require Node.js and MongoDB, but others may require Redis or MySQL.
To check available services, run this command:
$ sudo installdir/ctlscript.sh status
To install missing services, use your system’s package manager, or download and install required applications manually.
To install an application in the example/ directory, follow these steps:
Create the directory:
$ sudo mkdir installdir/apps/example
Move the application files to that directory and follow the official installation steps for the application.
