How to run node app with sublime text

Question

How would you run node app with sublime text? Like this, open the file app.js in sublime, go to menu->tools->build, and it just runs. Simple like that

Answer 1

What is going on is that you don't have the right PATH setup for your terminal.

try this command in a regular terminal:

> which node

I peronaly get this:

/usr/local/bin/node

As you can see this path is not in you environement path to add it in a regular terminal you would edit .bashrc or .bash_profile and add this line

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Here well you just have to look at the doc and find out that you need to modify the configuration file.

If you have a JavaScript file open, by selecting selecting Tools -> Build Systems -> Nodejs and then hitting Ctrl + B, you will activate the node build system on your file and node will try to run it. You may need to add a path variable to the settings object for this if your node executable is not found

Look at this.
