This is designed to run without shell access, and without installing Node.js. Users on shared hosting cannot normally install Node.js, so are restricted to the usual LAMP stack, however this allows users to bypass this and process everything with Node.js.
- aikah 12y ago> This is designed to run without shell access, and without installing Node.js. How can you run that without installing node itself? the godaddy tutorial specifically says one needs to upload nodejs on the server.Whether you are running apt-get install node or uploading it,you are still installing node on the server
- Demiurge 12y agoapt-get requires root and can set up an http service as part of the installation. uploading it doesn't do that.
