so im deciding to byte the bullet and roll down the angular road.

install node they say, its quick and easy they say... 1 hour later after

./configure
make

im starting to wonder if i made the right decision.

    What the hell? How are you doing it? Have you tried using nvm instead? https://github.com/creationix/nvm

    Wait, based on your previous screenshots I guess you're using Windows. Did you try to download the installer from node's site?

    @shellbug installing on a centos box, just seems to be slow as hell :(

    your right i normally use windows though.

    @C0D4 alright, then you should try nvm. I never tried it on centos, but it should work.

    This just made me lose my breath dude, seriously. I've installed node many times, on ubuntu, mint, windows, mac, and I never had to compile it myself.

    Prime example regarding why I never compile shit myself. It gets frusteating when it starts to break for no reason.

    @AleCx04 it wasn’t breaking, just taking a hell of a long time. I ended up giving up and went to bed instead.

    Round 2!

    Round 2: make and install took all of 5 minutes this time.

    i guess it just got stuck last night.
