[Node.js]

Hello Folks,

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime and uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. You can check more information on their official website https://nodejs.org/en.

To install Node.Js run below listed commands one by one.

#cd /usr/local/src

#wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26.tar.gz

#tar -zxvf node-v0.10.26.tar.gz

#cd node-v0.10.26

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local

#make

#make install

That's installed the Node.js on the cPanel/WHM server.

To check the node.js version run below command.

#node -v
v0.10.26

That's all Enjoy !!

Hello folks,

In order to change SSH port you will have to edit sshd_config file.

#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Change #Port 22 to some other port and uncomment it

You can set it like 8957 or anything that you want. This will secure your servers from brute forcers that will try to crack your ssh password.
