Re: help needed for a nodejs + npm port: mongosh

Hi,

Nevermind.
Just found out that I don't need a port to massage the github repo into an executable.

As root:
# pkg install npm

As user:
$ npm install mongosh
$ ./node_modules/.bin/mongosh mongodb://127.0.0.1:27117/

And it all works.

Or use "npm install -g mongosh" as root if you trust the sources and need to install it globally.

Cheers,
Ronald.
