I'm trying to run an install script for J2V8 on Ubuntu and it appears to reference a non-existant directory called /data/jenkins/node.

I've never heard of a folder like that in the root directory, any ideas of what this could be?

EDIT: While this may be the same question as Trouble building J2V8 on Ubuntu, that question has no answer so I thought it would be reasonable to rephrase it more generally and ask it again.

  • It's probably just something someone added as a root user, and maybe then gave global permissions to others. Probably a way to separate /usr data and /data data. – Alex Huszagh Jun 25 '16 at 19:40
  • Well you can create whatever directories you want under the root directory. I myself have a partition under `/data`. Probably jenkins uses that directory name too. – Bakuriu Jun 25 '16 at 19:41
  • It is not uncommon to put data on additional filesystems mounted under /data or such. In your case it could also mean a null-expansion in an install script `$THE_DIR/data/jenkins/node` will expand to what you got if THE_DIR happens to be undefined or empty. – wildplasser Jun 25 '16 at 19:42

I answered this on the duplication question, but I'll put this here too. Tat location is just where I happened to build node.js on my Jenkins server. The build instructions in the J2V8 README are what you are looking for.
