Cloud9
Somehow Cloud9 fits in with this.

I'm trying to get cloud9 running on the Beagle.

beagle$ opkg update beagle$ opkg install nodejs (1min 6 sec) beagle$ opkg install nodejs-dev (I don't know if this is needed.)

Something from Jason

beagle$ opkg install bonescript beagle$ opkg install cloud9

Here’s how to get npm according to http://npmjs.org/

beagle$ opkg install curl (1m23) beagle$ opkg install nodejs (1m6) beagle$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh (1m5)

It's said this will work on a current distribution of Angstrom, but it doesn't work for me. beagle$ opkg install cloud9

non-Beagle
Here are instructions for a non-Beagle install from here.

host$ git clone git://github.com/ajaxorg/cloud9.git (16 seconds) host$ cd cloud9 host$ bin/cloud9.sh

then host$ node ./bin/cloud9.js

gitting examples
git clone git://gitorious.org/~Jadon/beagleboard-validation/jadons-education.git (10s)
