How to setup Cloud9 for io.js?

I've started to use Cloud9 to develop in node.js. However, io.js seems to be the continuation of the node project.

I tried creating a new custom workspace, and then installing io.js like this:

wget https://iojs.org/dist/v1.4.3/iojs-v1.4.3-linux-x64.tar.xz

tar xf iojs-v1.4.3-linux-x64.tar.xz

cd iojs-v1.4.3-linux-x64

sudo cp bin/* /usr/bin

However, on the last step, it says: 

cp: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/bin/iojs’: Read-only file system

So, I would like to know if I am doing anything wrong, or if there is any other way of using io.js with Cloud9.

  • This guide uses curl and nvm and should work on Cloud9: http://allangagnon.nettryx.net/2015/01/31/installing-io-js-javascript-io-on-ubuntu/.
