This is just short snippet on how to install Node.js (any version) and NPM (Node Package Manager) on your Ubuntu/Debian system.
Step 1 - Update your system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev
Step 2 - Install Node.js
First, clone the Node.js repository:
git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git
cd node
Now, if you require a specific version of Node:
git tag # Gives you a list of released versions
git checkout v0.4.12
Then compile and install Node like this:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Then, check if node was installed correctly:
node -v
** Step 3 - Install NPM**
Simply run the NPM install script:
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
And then check it works:
npm -v
That's all.
