How to install Node.js for Orangescrum In-App Chat

In our continuous efforts to simplify the installation process for Orangescrum, we’re constantly updating installation instructions for our users. 

In this article, I will guide you how to install the Node.js for In-App Chat add-on on your Orangescrum server.

What is Node.js? 

Node.js official document says “Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices”.

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.

Node.js also provides a rich library of various JavaScript modules which simplifies the development of web applications using Node.js to a great extent.

Why we chose Node.js?

Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects.

Asynchronous and Event Driven ? All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.

Very Fast? Being built on Google Chrome’s V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution.

Single Threaded but Highly Scalable? Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server.

No Buffering ? Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks.
