npm run watch but with ssh shell of Hostgator

Level 58

You can use the npm run watch command with an SSH shell of Hostgator. To do this, you'll need to install Node.js and npm on the server. You can do this by running the following commands:

# Install Node.js
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Install npm
sudo apt-get install npm

Once Node.js and npm are installed, you can run npm run watch from the SSH shell. This will watch for changes in your .scss files and compile them accordingly.

It's better to run npm run prod to build for production. npm run watch is for development.

What's your issue? you can just log into your server and run npm run prod.

Or you can build in your machine and push to the server with the production build.

Is it shared? Are you saying npm doesn’t work in the production env? My shared host doesn’t allow npm commands. I have to build the side styles and push them via git

@rubenochoa You need to install npm on the production server if you want to build on the server.
