what kind of OVH server hosting do you have ?

1. Web hosting

Is it web hosting ? In that case, you can only do PHP, Perl, C and Python (http://pro.ovh.net/infos/). So you can't have a NodeJS app. Basically, if you deploy your website with FTP credentials given by OVH, then you are mostly on a Web hosting server.

For example, the following OVH offers are web hosting:

2. VPS

But if you have a VPS (it gives you full root acces), you can do any linux command you want, just like you do on your local machine. Basically, you have a VPS when you have a ful root access : you can SSH into your server and do command like apt-get update && apt-get install nodejs.

For example, the following OVH offers are VPS hosting:

3. Cloud

Same as VPS
