Ruby on Rails - execJs: 'Could not find a JavaScript runtime'

by 7:17 AM 2 comments
Setting up a new VPS for a small app I'm working on and was stumped by this problem.  This didn't happen locally and after discovering the solution I knew why.  The reason why is I did not have nodeJs install on the VPS.  As I have been working on a nodeJs app in the past few months I already have node installed locally.

I'm running ubuntu and here are the commands to install nodeJs:


sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs 
This will install the current stable version of nodeJs.  After that I was in business.
