What to install, to run a script in Javascript?

[Bushbuck]

I've got a script written in Javascript, first line is
#!/usr/bin/env node

Does anyone know the name of what I need to install, to make this run? When I type "javascript" into PPM, I get a long list of things.

Bushbuck, without more details I'd say you're looking for this Java Runtime.

I've not actually tried to do this, but a quick search suggests that there are various solutions. One of the most commonly used is node.js http://nodejs.org
Maybe try installing the binary in /usr/bin (I would also strip and chown it)
Then run

Code: Select all

node yourscript.js

I think that's probably the thing, Oscar. I'll try that, thanks.

[Edit] Success! Thanks again.
