ode.js and MongoDB are hot technologies available today used in various real time applications. In this tutorial we are going to Setup Node.js platform and MongoDB database in Ubuntu and Windows. We will be using these technologies with our Android projects later.

Setup Node.js

Ubuntu

Ubuntu users can easily install Node.js from the repository using the command in terminal.

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Compile from sources (Alternate Method)

-> Install the dependencies.

sudo apt-get install g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils

-> Download node JS sources from http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26.tar.gz
-> Extract the downloaded sources.
-> Then switch to the extracted directory via terminal.
-> Then enter the following commands.

./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

Now Node.js will now be installed in your Ubuntu machine.

To test enter the command in the terminal which shows the Node.js version.

node -v

Windows

Installing Node.js in Windows is as easy as eating a piece of cake.

->Just download the windows installer from the link and install as typical windows installation.

64 bit -> http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/x64/node-v0.10.26-x64.msi
32 bit -> http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26-x86.msi

->To test open the command prompt and run the command to see the version of Node.js installed.

node -v

Testing Hello World

Open a text document and enter the following code and save it as hello.js

var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('Hello World !');
}).listen(8080, '127.0.0.1');
console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/');

Now open the terminal or command prompt and run it as

node hello.js

Now Node.js will be running in the port 8080 in localhost. Open your browser and verify it.

Setup MongoDB

Ubuntu

To setup MongoDB in Ubuntu open the terminal and enter the following commands.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 7F0CEB1

echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install mongodb-org

Now MongoDB will be installed in your Ubuntu Machine.

Start MongoDB by using the command

sudo service mongod start

Stop MongoDB by using the command

sudo service mongod stop

Windows

-> Download MongoDB for windows from the link and install as typical windows installation.

64 bit -> https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-x86_64-2008plus-2.6.0.msi

32 bit -> https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-i386-2.6.0.msi

-> After installation create a directory for database elsewhere (ie c:data)
After installation switch to the installation folder. Open Command prompt.

Run the command

mongod --dbpath c:data

Now MongoDB will be running in your Windows Machine.

Robomongo

Robomongo is a GUI client to access and work with MongoDB database. It is available for all three platforms. Download and install MongoDB for your required platform from the website http://robomongo.org/.
