问题

I downloaded forever module from the following link

https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever

I extracted the zip file and placed it in my node_modules folder. and from my command prompt went into the node js path and gave

forever filename.js as instructed.But i received the error as below

C:\Users\290495\Desktop\newnode\Manoj\Node\nodejs>forever testing.js
'forever' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Don't know where i am goin wrong.Anyhelp will be much appreciated

回答1:

Forever needs to be installed globally. Install it with the -g flag i.e. npm install forever -g

回答2:

Correct syntax is forever start app.js, but for some reason it doesn't work on Windows. No error message, but the application doesn't run.

回答3:

There was a bug in forever (on windows). Forever-win is a windows compatible version for it. Try below commands on windows command prompt, hopefully you should be able to run it successfully.

Install 'forever' and 'forever-win' globally

npm -g install forever
npm -g install forever-win

Start app using forever

cd <<project directory>>
forever start <<app.js>>

To build on top of @richmb's answer. You can install it locally and then add it as a npm script in your package.json :

"scripts": {
    "forever" : "forever"
  },

Then , you can call it with npm run forever

Example :

npm run forever start app.js

npm run forever list

etc..

To use it locally.

npm install forever
./node_modules/forever/bin/forever start <<app.js>>
