https://duan.ca/tag/node-js/ <p>Here are the necessary steps to install CoffeeScript on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion):</p> <ol> <li> <p>Install <a href="https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action">Command Lion Tools for Xcode</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Install Homebrew:</p> <pre><code>ruby -e &quot;$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)&quot; </code></pre> </li> <li> <p>Install Node.js with Homebrew:</p> <pre><code>brew install node </code></pre> </li> <li> <p>Install npm (the version comes with node doesn't install CoffeeScript properly for some reason):</p> <pre><code>curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh </code></pre> </li> <li> <p>Install CoffeeScript with npm:</p> <pre><code>npm install -g coffee-script # add environment variable to ~/.bashrc echo &quot;export NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules&quot; . ~/.bashrc </code></pre> </li> <li> <p>Done!</p> </li> </ol> <p>I had to google around to figure out the environment variable and the issue with npm. Hopefully this will help some folks in the similar need.</p> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 15:11:00 -0600 https://duan.ca/2012/11/28/coffeescript-and-mountain-lion/ https://duan.ca/2012/11/28/coffeescript-and-mountain-lion/
