使用 pm2 将节点作为服务运行

Question

I am trying to run a node api as a service but when I run the following command

C:\Windows\System32>pm2-service-install -n 0PM2 

it asks the following question

Perform environment setup (recommended)?

I put yes but it stays there and does nothing

What could be the problem?

Answer 1

You can simply install the pm2 package.

npm install pm2 -g

Run the module that has your server

 pm2 start app.js

If the above things are working fine, it shows your installation and configuration are correct. Now, use pm2 commands:

pm2 startup

follow the command from the o/p of above command

pm2 save

It seems you are using windows, you should use these steps:

1. download the pm2-installer from here .
2. Copy the entire pm2-installer directory onto the target machine, then run:

npm run setup

3. On Windows, the setup script assumes you have already configured npm to use prefix and cache directories in a location accessible to the Local Service user. If not, it will issue a warning and ask if you're sure you'd like to proceed. To set up npm automatically, run configure first:

npm run configure
npm run setup
