Node.js is a JavaScript runtime for web and cloud development that continues to grow in popularity. Our Oracle Linux yum server hosts repositories with recent stable builds of Node.js for Oracle Linux 6 and 7. We also include RPM versions of the node-oracledb module to connect Node.js to Oracle Database. In the last few weeks we added Node.js 10 to our repositories. At the time of writing, our Node.js repositories hold:
- Node.js 10
- Node.js 8
- Node.js 6
- node-oracledb 2.3
This page summarizes the steps to get started with Node.js development on Oracle Linux. To learn how to connect Node.js to Oracle Database with node-oracledb, see this previous blog post.
Remember that Oracle Linux yum server repositories are mirrored in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for quick access from OCI nodes without incurring networking charges.
