Nodester Now Running Node.JS 0.6.12

Thanks to Alejandro Morales and “n”TJ Holowaychuk’s Node Version Management project, Nodester is now able to run multiple versions of Node.JS!  In addition to Node.JS version 0.4.9 that we have been running for months, we now also support Node.JS version 0.4.12 and 0.6.12.  

Once you update your Nodester CLI ( sudo npm install nodester-cli -g ), your next hello world app that you init will automatically create a package.json set to run on version 0.6.12.  

nodester app create nodesterrox
nodester app init nodesterrox

 Browsing to http://nodesterrox.nodester.com results in the following:

Hello World
App (nodesterrox) is running on Node.JS v0.6.12

The new magic in our package.json comes from the “node” version definition.  You can currently specify 0.4.9, 0.4.12, or 0.6.12

{

  “name”:”nodesterrox”,

  “node”:”0.6.12”,

  “author”:”chris matthieu”

}

Simply update this file in your existing hosted apps and push it to nodester to change and restart your app running under a new version of Node.JS!  ( git commit -am “updated node version” and git push ).

Hack the planet!
