node-venv

I am a python developer, virtualenv is used all the time when I'm developing. When it comes to node development, a lot of times development tools are installed globally, which is not ideal if your project wants different versions of them. This very short script simply adds $(pwd)/node_modules/.bin to the front of PATH, so you can call those executables directly in bash. Instead of having to do./node_modules/.bin/some_exec, you can just do some_exec

Installation

1. Clone this git or download as zip
2. $ make install (this step will copy the activate_node_env script into /usr/local/bin

Usage

1. Goto your project root (where node_modules is)
2. $ source activate_node_env
3. You can now run your node executables in your shell.
4. To exit, type this: $ deactivate

Uninstallation

make uninstall (this simply removes it from /usr/local/bin)
