Other Linux Platforms

npm Enterprise works on most modern versions of Linux:

• Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.10
• CentOS 6.x
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.x
• Debian 7.7

Simply follow the steps listed below:

Step 1: Install npm and Node.js

Now that you have a server provisioned, let's install npm and Node:

On Ubuntu:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm i -g npm@latest
node -v && npm -v

On CentOS/RHEL:

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs
sudo npm i -g npm@latest
node -v && npm -v

Step 2: Install npm Enterprise Itself

sudo npm i npme -g --unsafe

To confirm that it worked, type npme. If the install succeeded you should see the npme help screen, which looks like this:

Step 3: Set up Endpoints

There are now 3 web services running on 3 ports on your VM. Make sure that these ports are open on your server:

On CentOS/RHEL servers, you may need to disable firewalld. It's also worth checking that your default iptable rules aren't blocking any traffic.

On Ubuntu, you should double check that ufw is not blocking traffic to any of these ports.

Step 4: Configuring npm Enterprise

Open your favorite web browser, access your server on port 8800, and follow the prompts to configure and start your appliance.
