# AWS BeenStalk and Node.JS

## App Location

* Initially deployed to : `/tmp/deployment/application`
* Moved afterwords to : `/var/app/current`

Logs in `/var/log/eb-activity.log` and `/var/log/nodejs/nodejs.log`

## Access to node and npm binaries

`export PATH=$PATH:/opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v8.11.1-linux-x64/bin/`

## Install dependencies

`/opt/elasticbeanstalk/containerfiles/ebnode.py --app-path /var/app/current  --action npm-install`

The `--app-path` argument was not working, following changes on `ebnode.py` to make it work:

```python
def run_npm_install(self, app_path):
        bin_path = self.get_node_bin_path()
        #self.npm_install(bin_path, self.config_manager.get_container_config('app_staging_dir'))
        self.npm_install(bin_path, app_path);
```

## Change user to nodejs

`sudo su - nodejs -s /bin/bash`
