Libraries
jQuery UI
It is mentioned in Creating multi-tab reports with R and jQuery UI
npm - node.js package manager
sudo apt-get install npm
Less
Less is a CSS pre-processor, meaning that it extends the CSS language, adding features that allow variables, mixins, functions and many other techniques that allow you to make CSS that is more maintainable, themable and extendable.
Less runs inside Node, in the browser and inside Rhino.
Install/update npm - Node Package Manager
As you can see from the error message, the node in my Odroid ubuntu 14.04 system is kind of old. Since npm is part of node, we want to update node first. Fortunately node provides a binary for ARM system too.
$ npm install -g less npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/less npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/less npm WARN engine [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=0.12"} (current: {"node":"v0.10.25","npm":"1.3.10"}) $ # Install the current version of node/nodejs for my OS (ARM v7). $ wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.4.5/node-v4.4.5-linux-armv7l.tar.xz | tar xJ $ PATH=/home/odroid/Downloads/node-v4.4.5-linux-armv7l/bin:$PATH; export PATH
Install Less
$ # Method 1. Install less via npm.

As you can see all node.js packages are installed under the node directory. If node-v4.4.5-linux-armv7l/bin was added to $PATH in .bashrc after we install nodejs, we won't need to include all other binary directories (installed via npm) to $PATH individually.
