How To Install nodejs-winston on CentOS 7
Introduction

What is nodejs-winston
This module is a multiple transport asynchronous logging library for Node.js. Winston is designed to be a simple and universal logging library with support for multiple transports. A transport is essentially a storage device for your logs. Each instance of a winston logger can have multiple transports configured at different levels. For example, one may want error logs to be stored in a persistent remote location (like a database), but all logs output to the console or a local file. There also seemed to be a lot of logging libraries out there that coupled their implementation of logging (ie, how the logs are stored/indexed) to the API that they exposed to the programmer. This library aims to decouple those parts of the process to make it more flexible and extensible.
