# Ubuntu 11

11.01 running on Linode

The largest challenge is successfully installing the appropriate versions of jnode (properly) and installing mongodb, and then doing this in the right order to properly use npm/nvm.

Open SSL/Nodejs Dependency Issues

Also, nodejs, despite not using openssl, needs it to function properly, and ubuntu doesn't install all the libraries so it gets pretty confusing and frustrating. It mentions disabling the open-ssl in a config argument, but doing so will cause nodejs to not function properly.

You'll need to install libssl-dev (apt-get libssl-dev). And possibly a few more, but its not very clear on ubuntu's website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL .

'localhost' url fixing

Once that happens some urls must be changed in some of the top-level configure json files (config.json) from localhost to a registered domain.
