Local Machine

Getting N|Solid working on your local development machine.

Start by visiting the NodeSource Downloads Page and follow the options for your preferred Node.js LTS line.

Using the N|Solid Runtime

PS C:\Users\bryce> node -v
v20.13.1
PS C:\Users\bryce> node -vv
v5.2.2
PS C:\Users\bryce> nsolid -v
v20.13.1
PS C:\Users\bryce> nsolid -vv
v5.2.2
PS C:\Users\bryce>

Connecting to N|Solid SaaS

Once the runtime is installed, you can get your N|Solid SaaS connection string from NodeSource Accounts and configure it using your preferred method to send data to your N|Solid SaaS server. Here I'm using a simple environment variable approach:

PS C:\Users\bryce> $env:NSOLID_SAAS='... my NSOLID_SAAS key from NodeSource Accounts ...';
# With the NSOLID_SAAS environment set any nsolid/node processes run
# in this terminal will now connect to your NSOLID_SAAS instance.
PS C:\Users\bryce> nsolid index.js
