Re: [IBMiOSS] Latest node installation woes

The link provided to Alan Seiden's website mentions the following step as being important:

==============================================================================
Once PTF SI58604 is installed, node should be usable on the command line. However, without Python working properly, node modules will not be usable. So, to get BASH, Python, and Git up and running all at once, run:
$ cd /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/GCC
$ ./pkg_setup.sh pkg_perzl_git-1.8.5.4.lst
==============================================================================


Would that still be necessary? Are we really saying that manual install steps are still required to get node.js to work even with the latest version of 5733OPS?

My OP issue is still not resolved by the way, so 5733SC1 is going to be reinstalled as a first step.

Any comments/criticisms?

Snippets from the wiki follow...

Step 3: Install the 5733-OPS option placeholders

I'm finding a lot more I-rarely-do-IBM-i-sys-admin people are getting into IBM i sys admin because of 5733OPS. That means the above statement needs a lot of handholding. The following tutorial from the ClubSeiden folks is what I point people at:
http://club.alanseiden.com/learninghall/article/5733-ops-installation-guide/

"IBM recommends you install all product options for the following reasons:"

I'd change that to read: "You will have obscure issues if you don't install all the options". I don't recall the exact scenario, but JesseG helped me out of it by having me install all of the options even if I didn't populate them with a PTF.

Both 5733-OPS and 5733-SC1 (starting with 7.2) are skip-ship, so

there's

nothing about IBM i 7.3 that is really specific other than
possibly

the

HTTP group PTFs.

Very respectfully, it would add some clarity if this were noted on
the 'How to install...' page.

If the community were allowed to edit the wiki, I'd do it myself.
