OSX Mountain Lion Cloud 9 install instructions

Question

How can I install cloud9 locally on osx mountain lion?

following the instructions at https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9/ did not work.

Answer 1

You should check your nodejs version node --version . Use a version lower than 0.8.x

If you are already using 0.10.x and don't intend to go backwards, then you should try nvm:

• curl https://raw.github.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh
• open a new terminal window (or do a shell logout + login)
• nvm install 0.8
• nvm use 0.8

Then follow cloud9 instructions

• git clone https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git
• cd cloud9
• npm install

If this doesn't work try updating npm by executing npm update -g

NOTE: if you get EACCES errors then you should probably try sudo npm update -g

Answer 2

Ok, finally figured it out:

Using

node --version = v0.10.5

npm --version = 1.2.18

1. npm install cloud9

2. edit node_modules/cloud9/bin/cloud9.js

   goto line 42

   where: require("cloud9").main(options);

   change to: require("../server/cloud9").main(options);

3. ./node_modules/cloud9/bin/cloud9.sh

Haven't found any errors yet, but only just started using it.
