Ember Js Installation on Ubuntu 14.04

Hello,

I faced few issues while installing it so listing down steps below incase it helps people :

Ember.js needs node.js and phantom js so we need to install them as well.

Installing NodeJs.

Follow the commands below :

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nodejs 

This should work straight forward, if not please check your internet connection. Then,

sudo apt-get install npm

 Above command will install nodejs successfully. But due to ubuntu packet mismatch it names it nodejs. Hence you need to use nodejs everywhere instead of node. Check installed version :

 nodejs --version

If you wish to avoid writing nodejs, you can create a symlink for the executable.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Emberjs still uses node command internally so its better to create the above symlink.

Installing EmberJs and PhantomJs

npm install -g ember-cli

npm install -g phantomjs

Above commands will install ember and phantomjs and you can create ember projects from command line.

 ember new my-app

This might give some error if your system doesn't have git installed, install it using :

sudo apt-get install git

Then your project will be successfully created. More details can be found here .
