Installing Nodejs10 manually

[YH CHONG]

Hi,

We do not have an internet facility in our office, that gives us the only way to install Nodejs10 in our IBM i box (v7.3) is by downloading the “nodejs10-10.23.1-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm” elsewhere and transfer into the IFS to carry out the installation manually. Is the following way a supported way?

• Transfer (binary) update-alternative rpm file and nodejs10-10.23.1-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm to IFS  /tmp

• Run call qp2term (PASE) in 5250 console. Then, set your PATH correctly to be able to call ‘yum’ command, shown below.

  • PATH=/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin:$PATH
  • export PATH

Cd /tmp

• yum install update-alternatives-1.19.7-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm
• yum install nodejs10-10.23.1-1.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm  

• Test that the package has fully installed.

  • node -v
  • npm -v

Thanks.

Greetings. Are you able to use the “SSH Tunneling” option in the Access Client Solutions UI? If so, that will be the easiest path for you. It requires you to have Internet access from your PC, but not from the IBM i system.
