Ubuntu - Install node.js - Install from Source
Install packages required to compile the source code
sudo apt install build-essential
Download the latest source code from nodejs.org
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.9/node-v0.10.9.tar.gz
Extract the tar archive
tar zxvf node-v0.10.9.tar.gz
Enter the directory we just extracted from the tar archive
cd node-v0.10.9
Compile and install
./configure make make install
Test
Test node.js to make sure it’s working correctly.
echo "console.log('Hello World');" | node
This should simply print “Hello World” in the console.
If you don’t get any errors, node.js is installed and functional and you may just have executed your first node.js script.
