Configuring remote Node.js runtimes

Install the Node.js and Node.js Remote Interpreter plugins on the Settings | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains Marketplace.

Make sure the FTP/SFTP/WebDAV Connectivity plugin is enabled in the settings. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select Plugins. Click the Installed tab. In the search field, type FTP/SFTP/WebDAV Connectivity. For more information about plugins, refer to Managing plugins.

Configure access to an SSH server on the target remote host as described in Create SSH configurations and make sure this server is running.

Open the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) and go to Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript Runtime.

Click next to the Node runtime field.

In the Node.js Runtimes dialog with a list of all the currently configured runtimes, click on the toolbar and select Add Remote from the context menu.

In the Configure Node.js Remote Runtime dialog that opens, select SSH.

Select an SSH configuration to use.

Alternatively, click and create a new SSH configuration as described in Create SSH configurations.

Click OK to return to the Node.js Interpreters dialog where the new runtime is added to the list.

To set the newly configured runtime as project default, select it in the list and click OK to return to the JavaScript Runtime dialog.

GoLand automatically uses this interpreter every time you select the Project alias from Node runtime lists, for example, when creating run/debug configurations.

To use the package manager associated with the new runtime for managing your project dependencies, set this package manager as default in your project. To do that, specify the location of the package manager in the Package manager field.

The default location for npm executable is /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm.

Go to Run | Edit Configurations. In the Edit Configuration dialog that opens, click on the toolbar and select Node.js from the context menu. The Run/Debug Configuration: Node.js dialog opens.

Click next to the Node runtime field.

The Node.js Runtimes dialog opens.

Click on the toolbar and select Add Remote from the context menu.

Configure a remote Node.js runtime via SSH as described above.

Install the Node.js, Node.js Remote Interpreter, and Vagrant plugins on the Settings | Plugins page, tab Marketplace, as described in Installing plugins from JetBrains Marketplace.

Make sure Vagrant and Oracle's VirtualBox are downloaded, installed, and configured on your computer. For more information, refer to Vagrant.

Make sure that the parent folders of the following executable files are added to the system PATH variable:

• vagrant.bat or vagrant from your Vagrant installation. This should be done automatically by the Vagrant installer.

• VBoxManage.exe or VBoxManage from your Oracle's VirtualBox installation.

Open the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) and go to Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript Runtime.

Click next to the Node runtime field.

In the Node.js Runtimes dialog with a list of all the currently configured runtimes, click on the toolbar and select Add Remote from the context menu.

In the Configure Node.js Remote Runtime dialog that opens, select Vagrant.

Specify the Vagrant instance folder that points at the environment you are going to use.

Technically, it is the folder where the VagrantFile configuration file for the desired environment is located. Based on this setting, GoLand detects the Vagrant host and shows it as a link in the Vagrant Host URL read-only field.

By default, the field shows the current project folder.

In the Node.js interpreter path field, specify the location of the Node.js executable file.

To locate the Node.js executable, open the embedded Terminal (Alt+F12) and type:

Click OK to return to the Node.js Interpreters dialog where the new runtime is added to the list.

To set the newly configured runtime as project default, select it in the list and click OK to return to the JavaScript Runtime dialog.

GoLand automatically uses this interpreter every time you select the Project alias from Node runtime lists, for example, when creating run/debug configurations.

Specify the path to the package manager to use.

To locate the package manager, open the embedded Terminal (Alt+F12) and type:

Go to Run | Edit Configurations. In the Edit Configuration dialog that opens, click on the toolbar and select Node.js from the context menu. The Run/Debug Configuration: Node.js dialog opens.

Click next to the Node runtime field. The Node.js runtimes dialog opens.

Click on the toolbar and select Add Remote from the context menu.

Configure a remote Node.js runtime in a Vagrant environment as described above.
