Description dusty 2015-08-11 12:49:10 UTC 
Node Version Manager (https://github.com/creationix/nvm) is a popular distro to easily install (possibly different versions of) node on various OS.

Netbeans 8.1 beta was not able to detect the node and npm executables, and even by selecting them by hand resulted in netbeans telling me that it was unable to "list npm packages" and to reconfigure it.

Out of the box support would be very handy, otherwise some instructions on how to manually configure netbeans to use npm would be very welcome.

Reassigning.

@vriha: Láďo, you have tried nvm, right? Or am I wrong?

Thanks.

Update about the latest netbeans RC release:

* node is not detected automatically

* even choosing the executable by hand by entering the complete path, if using node v4.2.1 (current production LTS release) netbeans automatically download sources of version 0.12

* Even manually entering the path of node and npm in the project properties I see the error "Unable to list the installed npm packages"

This seems to not apply anymore since ES6 support
