How to install Cloud9 with Node.js 0.6?

Question

I'm looking for an offline free ide for node.js. I was going to use cloud9, but it seems that doesn't work..

I followed this guide https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9

What could I use? Is there any way to use cloud9 with node.js 0.6?

The error of the last version of cloud9 of github: http://pastebin.com/7QEAygfD

Answer 1

FYI: Looks like Cloud9 will have support for node.js v0.6+ any day now: https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9/pull/726

Here's what I did to get Cloud9 running on node.js v0.6.9 on Ubuntu

git clone git://github.com/gero3/cloud9.git
cloud9/bin/cloud9.sh
(cd cloud9; npm install libxml; npm install formidable)
cloud9/bin/cloud9.sh

Looks like there's a couple of missing modules (libxml & formidable) -- it started right up after installing them with npm

Answer 2

Offline/ Open Source VERSION

You can install the open source version of Cloud9 locally using Sourcemint. The new version will require NodeJS >= 0.6.15.

Please have a look on how to do so, here: https://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9

ONLINE VERSION Select Node Version (0.6.x)

In Cloud9 IDE you can select a preferred version of node from within the RUN panel on the left of the editor: https://skitch.com/detmarterhuurne/8kykn/select-node-version-cloud9

Or you can select a runtime in the preferences panel also on the left of the editor

Answer 3

cloud9 ide should have 0.6 support

Good alternatives to cloud9 ide include

• WebStorm 3.0
• unix

UPDATE: if you use bin/cloud9.sh will lead the built-in node which is version 0.4. so if you do that even you install node v.6.x you still using node 0.4
