Building PM2

The instructions provided below specify the steps to build PM2 latest version on Linux on IBM Z for following distributions:

• RHEL (6.10, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6)
• SLES (12 SP4, 15)
• Ubuntu (16.04, 18.04 , 19.04)

• When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.
• A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.

Step 1: Installing PM2

1.1) Install dependencies

• RHEL 6.10

  sudo yum install wget tar make gcc gcc-c++ binutils-devel bzip2

  • Build GCC 4.8.2

    export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/
    cd $SOURCE_ROOT
    wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
    tar -xvjf gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
    cd gcc-4.8.2/
    ./contrib/download_prerequisites
    cd $SOURCE_ROOT
    mkdir gccbuild
    cd gccbuild/
    ../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=$HOME/install/gcc-4.8.2 --enable-shared --disable-multilib --enable-threads=posix --with-system-zlib --enable-languages=c,c++
    make
    sudo make install
    export PATH=$HOME/install/gcc-4.8.2/bin:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/install/gcc-4.8.2/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

• RHEL (7.4, 7.5, 7.6)

  sudo yum install wget tar 

• SLES (12 SP4, 15)

  sudo zypper install wget tar 

• Ubuntu(16.04, 18.04, 19.04)

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install wget tar 

• Install Node.js

  • RHEL(6.10)

    cd $SOURCE_ROOT
    wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.2.0/node-v8.2.0-linux-s390x.tar.gz 
    tar -xvf node-v8.2.0-linux-s390x.tar.gz
    mv node-v8.2.0-linux-s390x nodejs
    export PATH=$PATH:$SOURCE_ROOT/nodejs/bin

  • RHEL(7.4, 7.5, 7.6), Ubuntu(16.04, 18.04, 19.04) and SLES(12 SP4, 15)

    export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/
    cd $SOURCE_ROOT
    wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.11.2/node-v9.11.2-linux-s390x.tar.gz
    tar -xvf node-v9.11.2-linux-s390x.tar.gz
    mv node-v9.11.2-linux-s390x nodejs
    export PATH=$SOURCE_ROOT/nodejs/bin:$PATH

1.2) Install PM2

npm install pm2 -g	

Step 2: Verification(Optional)

2.1) Create a file app.js

var http = require('http');
var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
response.end("Welcome to pm2\n");
});
server.listen(8080);
console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/");

2.2) Run the application

pm2 start app.js

Note: The application server will be started and serving at http://127.0.0.1:8080/.

2.3) Monitor the application

pm2 monit
