Answer 1

Mac users, type which node in terminal. It outputs the path of the node executable, which in most cases is /usr/local/bin/node. Now create a new build system (Tools > Build System > New Build System) with the following settings in Sublime Text.

{   
  "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/node", "$file"],   
  "selector": "source.js"   
}

Answer 2

May be it depends on environment variables -- try to use full path to node instead of just "nodejs". It worked for me on Mac OS (e.g. /usr/local/node instead of just node)

Answer 4

Tested on Ubuntu Linux. Use a file selector as below:

{
  "cmd": ["node", "$file"],
  "selector": "*.js"
}

Answer 5

Normally

"cmd":["node",$file]

would work. However there is no way to stop the server than. I've found out the best solution which opens server in new console and the closes it automatically. I also works fine with supervisors or node-inspector

"cmd" : ["start", "cmd.exe", "/C", "node", "$file"]

I hope It'll help

I'm using windows and I created a New Build System with this content:

{
"cmd": ["node", "$file"],
"selector": "source.js",
"working_dir": "${project_path:${folder}}",
"path": "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs"
}

And after a ran a JavaScript file with sucessul inside Sublime.

My JavaScript file has this content:

var a = 10;
var b = 20;

var resultado = a + b;

console.log('resultado:', resultado);
