#Compile

This is a quick how to with the steps used to compile Node.js on Centos Linux.

These steps were successfully executed on Centos 6.2 x86 with node 0.6.18

Building Node.js on Linux is fairly simple, as there are few dependencies. This is how I did it on Debain 6 (Squeeze). At the time of writing the current release of Node.js was 0.6.15. You’ll need to adjust the intructions below to reflect the version you’re building.

Update: I have also successfully tested these instructions with node.js 0.6.17 on Ubuntu 12.04.
