- Install npm using curl (or wget)
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh - Install n using npm
npm install -g n - Install the latest version of node using n
n latest
n is a node version manager. It does all the work for you. It installs and switches to the version you specify, or just switches if you already have it installed.
Note: If you’re having trouble installing stuff due to permissions, don’t use sudo. Enter this command once to set your user account as the owner of the /usr/local/ directory, so that you can just issue normal commands in there without sudo. It’s a more sane alternative.
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
