Go to the package manager console and type this command So we will have to switch on command line some time. Unfortunately the package manager console looks like unable to handle interactive commands. We will start with a brand new Asp Net empty web application project. Let's now open Visual Studio and work with the new tools installed. This will prevent the usual compatibility issue (more on this, ) In addition, nodejs is smart enough to redirect your commands to the local node_modules directory, if any. Usually, having packages installed globally is very convenient. The other option has the same behavior of nuget packages: it will create on your project a new directory called node_modules in which all packages will be stored. This will make the package available on every directory of your dev machine. For this reason, every package installed through this tool can be installed as global (-g flag on the commands). Unlike nuget, npm has the concept of local and global packages. Prior to see the following steps, I will spend few words on how Npm works. Thanks to this tip, we have now available on Visual Studio console all the tools we need to perform out nodejs tasks. Let's make sure that all commands are now available on the command line, by typing its names on the console. The most used one on Windows is msysgit ( ), you can find it on WebPlatform too. #NODE JS TOOLS FOR VISUAL STUDIO INSTALL#I will only show you the integration with visual studio.ġ) At first, let's make sure to have nodejs installed ( with NPM installed and its directories installed into the PATH environment variable.Ģ) Install a git client (required by bower and tsd) and insert its executables into the PATH environment variable (the current installation package does not set this for you automatically). I will assume you have a knowledge about nodejs, npm, bower, tsd, gulp and the packages you're going to install. Note: this is not a NodeJs/tools tutorial. #NODE JS TOOLS FOR VISUAL STUDIO HOW TO#In this article I will show you how to set up your Visual Studio and TFS online environment to take advantage of all this. The presence of NodeJs on TFS online hosted build controller and the recent installation of git client in the platform (suggested by a tweet of mine: ), and on AppHarbor too ( ) opens up new interesting possibilities of integrating Visual Studio and TFS online with the awesome Node JS tools. Oops…this is not one of my posts…I invited a friend of mine, Vincenzo, to write about using Node.js tools with Visual Studio.
