Hi, I have a question. I need to work with Newman and Node.js within IBM, but I don't know which licensed programs I should install. I imagine one of them is PASE, but I don't know what else I'd need.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Miguel, 

You are right, PASE is definitely one of the prerequisites and a few odd things more below. 

Quite simple to install nowadays, just follow the steps here first :
https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/yum/README.html

Then for NodeJS:(not sure about Newman though, that one doesn't seem officially supported? )
https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nodejs/README.html

Note: just remember setting the paths accordingly, and if you need to "secure" the instances, have a look at "CHROOT"-ing the environment to keep things totally seperate from one another. 

If you do need official support for bugs and fixes, I can recommend these two companies:
https://www.seidengroup.com/
https://www.perforce.com/products/openlogic

If you need more help, give me a PM, and I can assist you in setting the environment up quickly.
