How do I use FPM to generate a Global NPM module as an rpm?

I want to install a node module that I have downloaded like pm2and package it as a rpm. When I run the rpm command I want the package installed globally:

example npm install -g pm2

Do I create a the rpm from fpm like this?

fpm -s npm -t rpm pm2.zip
Solution

  • fpm will automatically download it from the npm registry. So the following command is enough.

    fpm -s npm -t rpm pm2
Created package {:path=>"node-pm2-2.7.1-1.x86_64.rpm"}
