Step 1: Installing PM2

1.1) Install dependencies

• RHEL (7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 8.0, 8.1)

  sudo yum install -y wget tar xz

• SLES (12 SP4, 15 SP1)

  sudo zypper install -y wget tar xz

• Ubuntu(16.04, 18.04, 19.10)

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y wget tar xz-utils

• Install Node.js

   export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/
   cd $SOURCE_ROOT
   wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v13.5.0/node-v13.5.0-linux-s390x.tar.xz
   tar xf node-v13.5.0-linux-s390x.tar.xz
   mv node-v13.5.0-linux-s390x nodejs
   export PATH=$SOURCE_ROOT/nodejs/bin:$PATH

1.2) Install PM2

    npm install pm2 -g	

Step 2: Verification(Optional)

2.1) Create a file app.js

    var http = require('http');
    var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
    response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
    response.end("Welcome to pm2\n");
    });
    server.listen(8080);
    console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8080/");

2.2) Run the application
