Steps by step guide to clone HowToNode node.js Git Repo and run locally

 

Be sure to install Git for Windows from the link below with the following install setting:

–           http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

–           Use Windows Command Line Interface

–           Check Git is in your path

–           Try to execute the git  command

 

Now create a folder where you would want to create node blog i.e. (C:AzureNodeprojectsavkashblog)

 

Run the git command to clone howtonode repo https://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org

 

C:Azurenodeprojectsavkashblog>git clone https://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org Cloning into ‘howtonode.org’… remote: Counting objects: 2606, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1061/1061), done. remote: Total 2606 (delta 1592), reused 2512 (delta 1507) Receiving objects: 100% (2606/2606), 2.65 MiB | 559 KiB/s, done.

It is always good idea to take a look at package.json to see the dependency and if there are any dependency then you can run “npm install –d” to install all the dependencies for your project.

Reading the Package.json as below:

 

{ “author”: “Tim Caswell <tim@creationix.com> (http://creationix.com/)”, “name”: “howtonode.org”, “description”: “The popular blog howto.no.de”, “version”: “0.0.0”, “homepage”: “http://howto.no.de/&#8221;, “repository”: { “type”: “git”, “url”: “git://github.com/creationix/howtonode.org.git” }, “engines”: { “node”: “>=0.4.0” }, “dependencies”: { “stack”: “>=0.0.3”,     “creationix”: “>=0.1.2”,     “wheat”: “>=0.2.0”,     “cluster”: “>=0.6.4” }, “devDependencies”: {} }

 

Based on above you can see there are 4 dependencies 1) stack 2) creationix 3) wheat 4) cluster

 

Now you can run “npm install –d” command to install all the dependencies.

If you look serverserver.js, you will see the web server start code is already there as below:

// Just a basic server setup for this site var Stack = require(‘stack’), Creationix = require(‘creationix’), Http = require(‘http’);   Http.createServer(Stack( Creationix.log(), require(‘wheat’)(process.env.JOYENT ? process.env.HOME + “/howtonode” : __dirname +”/..”) )).listen(process.env.JOYENT ? 80 : 8080);

 

Because all the articles are stored in article folder so edit

 

skinindex.haml as below:

#main.index :each article in articles.slice(0,15) .article .author %img{src:gravitar(article.author.email, 30)} By #{article.author.name} .date{title: article.date}&= formatDate(article.date, “%Y.%m.%d”) %h3 %a{href: “/articles/” + article.name}&= article.title = intro(article.markdown) %a.more{href: “/articles/” + article.name} Read more…   #sidebar .aside = markdownEncode(description) .bubble %h4 Articles %ul :each article in articles.slice(0,20) %li %a{href: “/articles/” + article.name}&=article.title &=” by ” + article.author.name :if article.node %span.versiontag&= article.node .bubble= markdownEncode(description)

 

 

To launch the web server just try:

C:Azurenodeprojectsavkashbloghowtonode.orgserver>node server.js GET / 200 Content-Type=text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length=24235 GET /style.css 200 Content-Type=text/css Content-Length=11613 GET /groovepaper.png 200 Content-Type=image/png Content-Length=40723 GET /print.css 200 Content-Type=text/css Content-Length=254 GET / 200 Content-Type=text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length=24235 GET /style.css 200 Content-Type=text/css Content-Length=11613 GET /groovepaper.png 200 Content-Type=image/png Content-Length=40723 GET /print.css 200 Content-Type=text/css Content-Length=254 GET /articles/testing-private-state-and-mocking-deps 404 Content-Type=text/plain   GET /favicon.ico 200 Content-Type=image/vnd.microsoft.icon Content-Length=1469 GET /favicon.ico 200 Content-Type=image/vnd.microsoft.icon Content-Length=1469 GET /articles/testing-private-state-and-mocking-deps 404 Content-Type=text/plain   GET /articles/promises 404 Content-Type=text/plain GET /articles/promises 404 Content-Type=text/plain GET /favicon.ico 200 Content-Type=image/vnd.microsoft.icon Content-Length=1469

 

Finally launch the browser and test the site at http://127.0.0.1:8080 as below:

Building Node.js source in Windows 7 64bit Machine

Prerequisite: 

• Be sure to have Visual Studio installed in your machine or at least VC build components.
• Install Python 2.x (for example C:Python2.7.2)
• Now download or git node source in your machine (for example C:azurenode-v0.6.7)

Start building:

1. Add C:Python2.7.2 in your system path
2. Launch Visual Studio command prompt 32bit (x86)
3. Run >vcbuild.bat release   – to build release version of node.
4. Run >vcbuild.bat debug     – to build release version of node.

Note:  if you have CYGWIN install then try to remove the CYGWIN folder path during your build process.

If you want to launch VS environment directly from command prompt use:

1. Open Command prompt
2. Now run the following command at your command prompt
   1. “”C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VCvcvarsall.bat”” x86
   2. Above command will set Visual Studio environment

I try to learn always, everytime!!

What is NoSQL?

This name was first coined in 1998 by Carlo Strozzi for its lightweight open source relational database which simply didn’t expose an SQL interface.

The First and OnlyNoSQL.

There are, since then, many Non-Relational, Distributed, open source, database effort. In 2009, Eric Evans reintroduced the term as a RDBS anti-pattern in an event to discuss all those databases that not only don’t use SQL language but in fact are not Relational at all.

From then on, the most common interpretation of “NoSQL” is “non-relational”.

Let’s go and more technically define NoSQL.

• NoSQL systems are designed for clusters, so they tolerate hardware failures by keeping backup copies of the data on separate physical servers.
• NoSQL systems avoid going to disks when answering complex queries. Frequently, they have pre-sorted the data and loaded it into the RAM of several servers in a cluster.
• NoSQL systems perform write, delete, and update functions to unstructured data, much as relational systems work on structured tables.
• Queries are directed by MapReduce style guidance systems to the data and an associated processor.
• NoSQL systems are being built by Web site developers or cloud service providers, not by database architects and administrators.
• What NoSQL lacks in precision it makes up for in speed.
• NoSQL systems could perhaps be better called Distributed Database Management Systems (or DDBMSes).
• Instead of having tables with columns and rows like you would find in a traditional RDBMS, many NoSQL databases are based on hash table structure.
• Recently, column-oriented NoSQL databases have started to show up as well.
• NoSQL systems are being considered schema free, which means we can simply start working and create the data structure on the fly.

What prevails in NoSQL system:

• Massive scalability
• Low latency
• Ability to grow on demand
• An easier programming model

 

The NoSQL universe

According to the implementation characteristics, NoSQL databases could be categorized:

Column Oriented

• Hadoop / HBase; Cassandra; Hypertable; Cloudera; Amazon SimpleDB

Document store

• MongoDB; CouchDB; Terrastore; ThruDB; OrientDB; Jackrabbit; Lotus Notes; RavenDB; Citrusleaf; SimpleDB; Keyspace

Graph

• AllegroGraph; Core Data; Neo4j; Sones; DEX; InfoGrid; FlockDB; HyperGraphDB; Bigdata; Infinite Graph; OpenLink Virtuoso; VertexDB

Key/value

• BigTable; CDB; Citrusleaf; membase; Velocity; Memcachedb; Redis; Tokyo Cabinet; Tuple space; Cassandra; Dynamo; Hibari; Project Voldemort; Paxos algorithm; Keyspace; NMDB; Berkeley DB

Multivalue databases

• OpenQM; Rocket U2; OpenInsight

Object databases

• Db4o; GemStone/S; InterSystems Caché; JADE; JOOB; Objectivity/DB; ZODB

Tabular

• BigTable; Mnesia; Hbase; Hypertable

Tuple store

• Apache River

Undefined

• GT.M

Configure OpenSSH host in Windows using Cygwin

Install Cygwin in your Windows machine  and be sure to have the following two modules installed:

1. OpenSSL
2. OpenSSH

After Cygwin is installed, launch Cygwin default BASH shell in administrator mode. At the command prompt enter command:

$ssh-host-config

Now you will be prompt for a few yes/no type questions as below:

When asked – “should privilege separation be used.” Please enter “YES”. As it is on by default in standard installations of OpenSSH

When asked – “new local account ‘sshd’?” please enter “Yes”

When asked – “Do you want to install sshd as service”- Please enter “Yes”

When asked – “Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon” please enter “ntsec”

Finally you will see some output which on the screen and you will be told that cyg_server account will be used with sshd service.

When asked – “Do you want to use a different name”, please enter “no”

Again when asked – “Create new privileged user account ‘cyg_server’?”, please select “no”.

This step will generate an error however that is expected.

When asked – “Do you want to proceed anyway?” please inter “yes”.

This way SSHD server will run as “SYSTEM” privilege user and that is what we expected.

avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~$ ssh-host-config *** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file *** Info: Creating default /etc/sshd_config file *** Info: Privilege separation is set to yes by default since OpenSSH 3.3. *** Info: However, this requires a non-privileged account called ‘sshd’. *** Info: For more info on privilege separation read /usr/share/doc/openssh/README.privsep. *** Query: Should privilege separation be used?

Now re-run ssh-host-config and when asked to overwrite configuration file, please enter “yes” and select “no” for privilege separation.

You will a message saying SSHD service is installed in your machine as below:

avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~$ ssh-host-config *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/ssh_config file? (yes/no) yes *** Info: Creating default /etc/ssh_config file *** Query: Overwrite existing /etc/sshd_config file?

(yes/no) no *** Info: Updating /etc/sshd_config file *** Info: Sshd service is already installed. *** Info: Host configuration finished. Have fun!

Now go to administrator control panel and launch services. You will see CYGWIN sshd is installed and not running as below:

Now you can go ahead and start the CYGWIN sshd service as usual. While starting CYGWIN sshd service above, be sure you done need to provide any password.

Alternatively you can use the following command to start the SSHD service from Cygwin shell:

$ net start sshd

To finish the remaining steps to generate key please run:

$ssh-keygen

When asked please enter “no” passphrase (two times, just press ENTER):

avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~$ ssh-keygen Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/avkashc/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory ‘/home/avkashc/.ssh’. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/avkashc/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/avkashc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: ******************************** avkashc@OMSHANTIOM The key’s randomart image is: +–[ RSA 2048]—-+ ******************** ******************** ********************

Finally run the following command to complete the setup:

avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~ $ cd ~/.ssh avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~/.ssh $ ls -l total 5 -rw——- 1 avkashc mkgroup 1675 Jan 12 22:18 id_rsa -rw-r–r– 1 avkashc mkgroup  400 Jan 12 22:18 id_rsa.pub avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~/.ssh $ cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~/.ssh $ ssh localhost The authenticity of host ‘localhost (::1)’ can’t be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is ***********************************. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added ‘localhost’ (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~/.ssh $ ssh localhost Connection closed by ::1 avkashc@OMSHANTIOM ~/.ssh $

To perform user configuration for OpenSSH please use:

$ ssh-user-config

Running ANT in Cygwin returns warning – MS-DOS style path detected

If you run ant in Cygwin and get warning as below:

 

$ ant cygwin warning: MS-DOS style path detected: C:hadoopapache-ant-1.8.2 Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/hadoop/apache-ant-1.8.2 CYGWIN environment variable option “nodosfilewarning” turns off this warning. Consult the user’s guide for more details about POSIX paths: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames Buildfile: build.xml does not exist! Build failed

 

 

To solve this problem:

–           Just Remove ANT_HOME environment from the computer environment variable.
