Installing coffee-script cli


Today I will be updating my box to the latest nodejs and after doing so, installing the coffee-script command line interface which allows for coffee-script to be run on such things as crontab, init.d, or even nagios (see other post).  I will also be installing nodemon which will act as a daemon for my coffee-script web applications.  Nodemon will watch for changes and restart the application if it finds any, which is pretty neat.

$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.3/node-v0.8.3.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf node-v0.8.3.tar.gz

$ cd node-v0.8.3


$ ./configure
