Deploying code

Packaging binaries

• Use node-pre-gyp for node C++ modules
• Use mason for C++ libraries and command line (cli) applications

Upgrade libstdc++

For binaries to run properly they will need the latest libstdc++ version installed.

Using apt-get directly

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties || true
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++-5-dev

Update vs upgrade?

Note that the above lines use update and install <package name> not upgrade.

The apt-get upgrade command will upgrade every package on your system and does not accept arguments.

Usually what you want is to upgrade a single package. The way to do that is using update + install like:

apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y <package name>

See https://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get for more details.
