In my last post I discussed node.js. This can be installed on a server. Originally I wanted to talk through how I installed Node.js and what plugins I have come to use. I took a look around and found a few ppl struggling with ssh. I figured best to cover some of the basics of server based commands first. I expect any one reading this have some Technical\/Programming experience.<\/p>\n
I am going to assume you have a sever and are working from a Unix based machine(Linux or OSX).<\/p>\n
Accessing your server:<\/strong><\/p>\n [shell]ssh usr@host[\/shell]<\/p>\n usr: would be your user name to the server for the sake if this example lets say your user name is peter<\/p>\n host: is your server url\/ip lets say for this example its\u00a0Watson.com<\/p>\n so in your command window type in your server details press enter:<\/p>\n [shell]#these are fake details use your user name and server in their place Enter you password and you should be in.<\/p>\n Basic Commands:<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is a list of basic commands to help you move around the folders and manipulate the files. [shell] Type that and it will list all the files and folders [shell]ls -a[\/shell]<\/p>\n That will show all the hidden files too. [shell]cd somefolder\/[\/shell]<\/p>\n Primary navigation command. [shell]cd ..[\/shell]<\/p>\n goes up a folder. [shell]cd folderName[\/shell]<\/p>\n navigates to the folder with the name folderName [shell]cd ~[\/shell]<\/p>\n Takes you to your home directory. [shell]mkdir newDirName[\/shell]<\/p>\n creates a directory [shell]cp txtFile.txt somefolder\/copyOfFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n copies file.txt to someFolder and renames the file. [shell]mv\u00a0txtFile.txt somefolder\/copyOfFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n moves file.txt to someFolder and renames the file. [shell]rm txtFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n deletes txtFile.txt [shell]touch newTextFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n touch creates the file with no content [shell]top[\/shell]<\/p>\n Displays resources and process Downloading<\/strong><\/p>\n [shell]wget\u00a0http:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/index.html[\/shell] [shell]git clone https:\/\/github.com\/joyent\/node.git[\/shell] [shell]svn checkout http:\/\/as3-youtube-data-api.googlecode.com\/svn\/trunk\/ as3-youtube-data-api-read-only[\/shell]<\/p>\n svn checkout checks out a svn repo Editors Easy<\/p>\n [shell]pico textFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n this one is easy all shortcuts (^ is ctrl) are listed at the bottom but not as powerful as the other two.<\/p>\n Medium<\/p>\n [shell]vi \u00a0textFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n this is obviously more powerful than pico but to achieve that it uses states when u start you can’t type you need to enable typing. This is just a taster of how to use it. There are entire pages on the web that list all the shortcuts.<\/p>\n i press ESC then :wq press ESC then :q! Hard<\/p>\n [shell]vim \u00a0textFile.txt[\/shell]<\/p>\n best text editor i could write a whole post on it. If you wana use google it.<\/p>\n Compiling Code Complete in order below<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n cd <\/span><\/p>\n [shell].\/configure[\/shell]<\/p>\n set settings in the build for your machine its automated it just does it<\/p>\n [shell]make[\/shell]<\/p>\n compiles your code<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [shell]make check[\/shell]<\/p>\n tests the compile<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [shell]make install[\/shell]<\/p>\n installs your compiled code<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [shell]make clean[\/shell]<\/p>\n Removes all the compiled files and cleans up for you<\/p>\n Comming soon \ud83d\ude42\u00a0sudo pico \/etc\/motd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my last post I discussed node.js.
