setup's Issues

Correct node.js setup may be needed.

Hi, it seems the current version of setup.sh does not generate an up-to-date node.js version on a fresh EC2 Ubuntu micro instance. Unsure why, but upon completion 'node --version' will yield v0.6.12. This hinders loading jshint (which fails during to version mismatch) as well as additional node modules such as express. Perhaps the following sequence (taken from the course lecture) should be incorporated in setup.sh:

!/bin/sh

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

make setup safer by installing curl

I don't think a

sudo apt-get install -y curl

at the start would hurt. And a number of students in the forum have stumbled by running (somewhere) where curl was not installed. It creates a messy situation.
