I am trying to work on node.js on my Ubuntu 12.04. However everytime I try to install it, Ubuntu shuts down automatically.
Here are the steps I am trying to do:
$ apt-get -y install libssl-dev git-core pkg-config build-essential curl gcc g++ checkinstall
$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.11/node-v0.8.11.tar.gz
$ tar -zxf node-v0.8.11.tar.gz
$ cd node-v0.8.11
$ ./configure && make && checkinstall --install=yes --pkgname=nodejs --pkgversion "0.8.11" --default
Capturing the terminal output also doesn't seem to be useful since it does not provide any reason for shutdown.
Is there something I am missing in installation?
This may be a hardware-related problem. Please check that your memory is all right before doing other stuff.
Secondly, this may point to some kernel problems, of which you may learn from system log files.
Thirdly, you are generally better off doing the various stages sequentially to find the exact crash stage instead of combining them with &&.
Now, on to the node.js installation. I have been less than successful with checkinstall; however, I have definitely liked fpm, and used it to compile and package (it can do both .deb and .rpm ones) Node.JS and then install it
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
mkdir -p /tmp/nodejs
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/nodejs
fpm -s dir -t deb -n nodejs -v 0.8.11 -C /tmp/nodejs -p nodejs-VERSION_ARCH.deb usr

I'm having a problem with apt-get. I'm trying to install gsoap, typing
apt-get install gsoap
but I'm getting
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev : Breaks: gcc-4.4 (< 4.4.6-4) but 4.4.5-8 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
Question 1: can someone translate this into English?
I tried running apt-get -f install, but all it said was "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1153 not upgraded".
This is really frustrating. I know dependency management is a hard problem, but I thought it was the job of a tool like apt-get to solve that problem for me. In this case it feels like there's something it's decided it can't do, and it's expecting me to resolve it, but it's telling me what's wrong using language which I frankly do not understand.
Question 2: is there something I could read to help me understand apt's dependency management philosophy, so I could maybe understand what's going on here?
If I should be asking these questions somewhere else let me know.
Addendum: per the Debian bug report linked to by mertyildiran, there was definitely a dependency problem involving gcc-4.4 and squeeze (which is in fact what I'm running). That bug claims to be fixed, but somehow the fix isn't helping me.
I suspect it may be time to ask Question 3: Is there a way to hand-edit the dependency list to make this problem go away? That's a terrible idea, I know, but at this point that may be my only choice other than blowing away the whole machine and reinstalling squeeze or wheezy from scratch, and that's a daunting prospect.
Run the following command
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install gsoap
It might be that #JosephWorks' solution
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install gsoap
actually helps with
Question 3: Is there a way to hand-edit the dependency list to make this problem go away?
Aptitude offers several configuration/downgrading options that installs the package you wish for. You can list the different options with n and choose one with Y.
This solution has been reported in several forums:
sudo apt-get clean && apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install gsoap

Debian Bug report about the issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676483
Explanation:
Let's see the functionality of clean argument with man apt-get:
clean
clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
Simply clean will reset your local package index so you can update your package index in most clean way.
I believe you have made a dist-upgrade in the past or manually edited your /etc/apt/sources.list. Maybe a PPA(Personal Package Archive) that you have used caused this problem.
If the error persists:
Compile and Install gcc-4.4.5
Download gcc-4.4.5: http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.4.5/gcc-4.4.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gcc-4.4.5.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.4.5/
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install gsoap
Probably you have an old distro. Ubuntu 16.04 comes with gcc-5.4.0. Installing gcc-4.4.5 should solve the problem.
#Steve You wanna try this ?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential

How can I install npm inside Debian vagrant box? I try this, but it's not wotking.
vagrant#packer-debian-7:~$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
nodejs is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 82 not upgraded.
vagrant#packer-debian-7:~$ nodejs -v
v0.10.29
vagrant#packer-debian-7:~$ sudo apt-get install npm

E: Unable to locate package npm
vagrant#packer-debian-7:~$ npm -v
-bash: npm: command not found
My host OS is Ubuntu
The debian way would be to add the repo and install with apt-get
curl --silent --location https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs
That will install nodejs and npm the debian way
Here you have a vagrant provision i build that comes with nodejs
https://github.com/Sudakatux/vagrant-liferay-others
run command :
wget https://npmjs.org/install.sh
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
it will install npm to your vagrant box.
Scroll down on the nodesource installation page (https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#debinstall). You need to install build-essentials, which includes npm.
# use `sudo` on Ubuntu or run this as root on debian
apt-get install -y build-essential

I'm working on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04. I have tried installing nodejs and sails via a number of methods, starting with the standard apt-get repositories, and then moving on to some other PPAs, but I get the same problem every time.
After successfully installing sails (sudo npm -g install sails) I attempt to run 'sails new testProject' and nothing happens.
When I run 'which sails' I get /usr/bin/sails... It seems that sails was installed but I have no way to run it. Tried under root, and using sudo... kinda hacked away at it with no success. I've followed several install guides and this is my result every time. Nodejs seems to be working fine.
Once again, I'm on a vanilla install of Ubuntu 14.04
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Not really sure why, but uninstalling node and following the guide on the sails.js site worked...
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo npm -g install sails
Can you confirm what version of node and npm you have installed in your system?
node --version
npm --version

when i run root#localhost# yum install package_name command on linux terminal it gives:
bash: yum: command not found
because i don't have yello update and modifier package install on my linux . for that i mount my linux iso disc.and write command
root#localhost# cd /meida/RHEL_4/i386/ Disk/ 1/
root#localhost RHEL_4 i386 Disk 1# ls
but there is no package directory. and i didn't find any http url form downloading(wget) yum.x.x.x.rpm. i have linux RHEL 4 AS version installed. plz help
Yum is not compatible with RHEL 4 (FOR RHN Stuff). They don't officially ship yum with rhel4 instead use legacy 'up2date' utility. up2date is similar to yum but far less featured package management utility but good in dependency resolution. It resolves the packages dependencies in same way, yum do.
Anyway, You can get the rpm package here, http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel...oview/yum.html. Just download it and install using rpm -ivh command. don't expect, yum will download the packages from RHN. to sync with rhn you still have to use up2date.

I'm trying to find ab - Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool for Ubuntu, I'm hoping there's a package I can install for it. I decided I need to do some simple load testing on my applications.
% sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
The command-not-found package in Ubuntu provides some slick functionality where if you type a command that can't be resolved to an executable (or bash function or whatever) it will query your apt sources and find a package that contains the binary you tried to execute. So, in this case, I typed ab at the command prompt:
% ab
The program 'ab' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
bash: ab: command not found
Another way to search for missing files, e.g. if you use zsh, want to disable command-not-found (slows things down when you misstype commandnames), or are looking for a file that is not an executable:
$ sudo aptitude install apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update
$ apt-file search bin/ab
