sa-node-nvm

This tool installs the Node Version Manager (nvm) and optionally Node.js. It's great for development purposes. If you need a binary installation, check out the sa-node role.

You can specify the Node.js version like this: nodejs_version: "0.10.38" (This can be any specific version).

Example Usage:

- {
    role: "sa-node-nvm",
    nvm_version: "0.31.1"
}

- {
    role: "sa-node-nvm",
    nvm_version: "0.31.1",
    deploy_user: "{{ansible_user_id}}",
    option_nodejs_install_with_nvm: true,
    nodejs_version: "0.12",
    option_integrate_w_bash: true,
    option_integrate_w_zsh: true
}

Using nvm in Future Steps:

- name: Detect npm
  shell: 'source /home/{{deploy_user}}/.profile && dirname "`which npm`"'
  args:
     executable: /bin/bash
  register: npm_path_detected_raw

- name: WSI Workplace | Install bower
  npm: name=bower state=present version="{{bower.version}}" global=yes
  become: "{{npm_is_global}}"
  environment:
    PATH: "{{npm_path_detected}}:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}"

Windows Support

For Windows, ensure your system is set up for Ansible provisioning. It's best to use the role sa-box-bootstrap-win, but you can configure it manually if needed.

Example of a Typical Windows Play:

vars:
  - root_dir: ..

  - ansible_connection: winrm
  - ansible_ssh_port: 5986
  - ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
  - ansible_winrm_transport: ssl

pre_tasks:
  - debug: msg="Pre tasks section"

  - name: gather facts
    setup:

roles:
   - {
       role: "sa-node-nvm"
     }

Remember, this is not exactly like the Linux version of nvm, so some commands are different. For example, to activate nvm on Windows, use nvm on.

Using with Ansible Galaxy Workflow

If you installed the sa-node-nvm role with the command:

ansible-galaxy install softasap.sa-node-nvm

You will find the role in the folder library/softasap.sa-node-nvm. Make sure to adjust the path accordingly.

- {
    role: "softasap.sa-node-nvm"
}
