Just in time for the Node Knockout, I'm happy to announce preliminary support of Node and npm in the master branch of Blueprint.

For the uninitiated, installing Blueprint is easy:

git clone git://github.com/devstructure/blueprint.git
cd blueprint
make && sudo make install

Creating a blueprint of a server and generating shell code that can be used to configure the production server the same way is likewise easy:

blueprint create -S knockout
# Run knockout.sh in production.

If you're new, check out the Blueprint tutorial while you're getting started.

The details are on the blueprint-users mailing list post but the short version is to use Chris Lea's PPA (node.js or node.js-devel) to install Node itself and everything else will work out just fine.

Happy hacking!
