Description Martin Fousek 2014-05-23 07:57:21 UTC

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20140523-9352dd7eea4e)
Java: 1.7.0_09; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.5-b02
Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_09-b05
System: Linux version 3.11.0-12-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

In some configurations there are issues that the nodeJS or npm tools can't be installed globally - I saw such issues i.e. on Mac. :/

It would be nice to have configuration which NodeJS and NPM to run (locally installed tools) within the NetBeans options or even in the project customizer.

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure, if node and npm will work, if it is not installed properly. Do you know anyone with such issue?

I saw such an issue on the StandaA computer (Mac). I'm working on only one project which uses NodeJS so far so hard to guess whether users use more nodeJSs at one moment (because of the backward compatibility or similarly) or not.

Feel free to close until we'll get real user report.
