Re: [IBMiOSS] Installing Node vx with yum

Kevin,

Upgrade in place?  I've tried that with previous versions, it doesn't
work.  I wouldn't want to do that.  Sure, it "may" work, but from my
experience you're asking for problems especially with all the dependencies
that each shop/project could have.

I'd personally rather have it so they are placed in their own directories
for versions.  That's just me, though.  And I would try chroot but it's
obviously not working for me.  So that's another dependency I have to worry
about.
