Node Summit 2017 – FROM TARBALLS TO YOUR PACKAGE MANAGER: CONSIDERATIONS FOR PACKAGING NODE.JS FOR LINUX – Chris Lea

The most popular operating system to run production Node.js applications on is, by a wide margin, Linux. One of the great strengths of the Linux ecosystem is the availability of good package management systems that make it easy to install software and associated dependencies. For these reasons, NodeSource has been sponsoring the creation of high quality Node.js packages for many years. In this talk, we’ll look at some of the systems that are utilized in the creation of these packages, as well as some of the design considerations that are attached to the package ecosystem.
