Composer and Node.js on hosting

Navju Cloud hosting comes with Composer (for PHP) and Node.js + npm. Needed for modern PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony) and frontend builds.

Composer — installing PHP dependencies

\n

Connect via SSH (see the dedicated article), go to the project folder:

\n

cd ~/public_html/\ncomposer install

\n

If you use Laravel, after composer install run:

\n

php artisan key:generate\nphp artisan migrate\nphp artisan storage:link

\n

Node.js — setup via cPanel

\n

1. cPanel → Software → Setup Node.js App
2. Click Create Application
3. Pick the Node.js version (LTS recommended — 20.x)
4. Application mode: Production
5. Application root: path to project, e.g. node_app
6. Application URL: domain or subdomain
7. Application startup file: index.js or app.js
8. Create

\n

Installing npm dependencies

\n

In the Node.js section press Run NPM Install or via SSH:

\n

cd ~/node_app\nnpm install\nnpm run build

\n

The Node.js app starts automatically. Restart — the Restart button in cPanel.
