Hi guys,

A friend suggested that I use node.js for a new project of mine. I never heard about it before :)

So I rush to read about it, saw this module and the video, and it stunt me. This is perfect!

I managed to install node.js in my ubuntu server, but I cant find out how to install the rest: Express and Socket.Io

If you can help me to complete it, I will document the whole process and we can add it to the module README.txt file?

Hi afeijo,

The easiest way to install Express is to use npm (node package manager), which you can obtain from:
http://npmjs.org/

npm installs node packages in a central location, so they can be loaded like node's built-in libraries (using the require function).

You can also use npm to install Socket.io. However, Socket.io is also used by the client-side JavaScript code, so it must also be installed inside the module's directory so it is accessible to users.

It would be great if you could contribute some improvements to the documentation! Thanks for your interest.

Thanks arithmetric!

I managed to install all stuff, I ran nodejs with a Hello World script and it worked :)
I have the required steps documented to install it all at a ubuntu server, I will add it to the README.txt, and I will search how to commit it
