I'm trying to build Nodejs from source for my Netgear ReadyNAS (Powered by an arm64 architecture). I'd plan to follow the step described in How do I install the latest version of node.js? but I could not do the step ./configure.

Here are the only files I have in the .tar.gz:

admin@ReadyNAS:/usr/local/src/node-v7.2.1-linux-arm64$ ls -a
.  ..  bin  CHANGELOG.md  include  lib  LICENSE  README.md  share

What am I doing wrong?

  • Why couldnt you do that step? Any error prompted? What exactly happened? – M. Becerra Dec 15 '16 at 08:45
  • I've got a error message : admin@ReadyNAS:/usr/local/src/node-v6.9.1-linux-arm64$ ./configure -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory – Hubject Dec 15 '16 at 10:06
  • See (and maybe vote+choose) Atul Agrawal's answer below. You seem to have downloaded the binary archive, not the source one. But is it really necessary that you recompile the sources? Cross-compilation is not easy. Aren't the binaries enough? – xhienne Dec 15 '16 at 10:22
  • Yes, you're are right, I have downloaded binaries instead of sources ... I'm trying to build Node.js because I encountered error if I'm using binaries – Hubject Dec 15 '16 at 10:25

You downloaded the binaries.

Please use this link https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

and click on source code link where you will find the actual source code.

  • The page reads "Latest Current Version: v7.2.1" which seems to be the version Babnonet13 downloaded. What makes you think this is a download error? The OP only mentions a ./configure error. – xhienne Dec 15 '16 at 08:59
  • bascically i meant is that the download from home page will not give the whole source code – Atul Agrawal Dec 15 '16 at 09:11
  • Ah, ok, I get it. You may well be right. Can you please add this to your answer? – xhienne Dec 15 '16 at 09:22
  • Yes it seems the source code is not complete ... (file for the configuration step are missing) ... but where can I download the complete source code ? – Hubject Dec 15 '16 at 10:14
  • Please download that from above link – Atul Agrawal Dec 15 '16 at 11:39
