How to Install Parsoid module for MediaWiki

Note: This article is kind of old. As of today any version of NodeJS should work – for Solairs you might need to compile from source, for details how to Buil NodeJS on Solaris click here.

Must use node js versin 10.20 (not 10.28)

Add make (or GNUmake) to your path

export PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/u01/app/11.2.0/grid/bin:/opt/SUNWxvmoc/bin:/opt/node-v0.10.20-sunos-x64/bin/

Now run.

cd parsoid

npm install

To get nodes version 10.28.
First do npm install in version 10.20

Now, to change to version 10.28 (by path), set ssl to false (this is needed if you are behind a proxy)

npm config set strict-ssl false

Check the npm config

cat /root/.npmrc

Run to uninstall npm

npm rm npm -g

Update npm manually

curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

Note: For the above to work do the below.
First cd to npm

mkdir lib; ln -s ../bin/node;ln -s ../bin/npm

Last, just update npm withh all stuff

npm update
