How would I go about setting up NodeJS on my Bluehost hosting account? [closed]

I like using NodeJS and I've gotten OK at it. Currently I'm paying Heroku to host my NodeJS apps, but I've also have a nice hosting account on Bluehost for a while.

However, Bluehost by default, doesn't run my NodeJS apps. They simply don't offer the environment to be installed on their systems.

I spoke to a rep from Bluehost and he said it would be possible for me to install NodeJS but he wouldn't be able to tell me how since that wasn't his job.

I don't know where to begin with this. Does anyone have any tips on how I could possibly go about installing NodeJS so I could run my NodeJS apps on my own server? That would be awesome.

EDIT

I have a full hosting account on Bluehost, i.e. with a cPanel et al. I don't see any option for NodeJS and a rep told me NodeJS is not by default installed. I would have to install it myself. I have no idea how to log in with the terminal and make this happen. I would love if you would be able to give me some direction.

Solution 1:

Unless you have a VPS or dedicated server with Bluehost then you will not be able to install it. This requires root access and they will not likely install it on a shared hosting platform.

If you do have a vps/dedi then this like should show you how to set it up, but its not supported by cpanel.
