Jam is a package manager for JavaScript, designed to handle dependencies between front-end frameworks and libraries. It is an open-source tool that simplifies the process of managing dependencies for web applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Jam on Ubuntu Server Latest.
First, we need to install Node.js on the Ubuntu server. Node.js is required to run Jam.
To install Node.js, run the following command in your server's terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs npm
After installing Node.js, check its version:
node -v
The output should indicate the version of Node.js installed.
Now that we have Node.js installed, we can proceed to install Jam. Here is how to do it:
sudo npm install -g jamjs
This command installs the latest version of Jam globally on your Ubuntu server.
To check if Jam is installed and learn more about its commands and options, run:
sudo jam --help
Since Jam is installed globally, it should be available to use on any command line. However, if you want to use Jam inside Docker containers, you will need to install it into the container separately.
To install Jam inside a Docker container, create a Dockerfile containing the following lines:
FROM node
RUN sudo npm install -g jamjs
Save the Dockerfile, then build the Docker image:
docker build -t your-image-name .
The above command builds a Docker image based on the Node.js image and installs Jam inside the image.
Now that you have installed Jam on your Ubuntu Server Latest, you can start using it to manage dependencies for your JavaScript applications. Jam is a reliable package manager that is easy to use and can significantly simplify your web development workflow.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
