Compiling is way to go for many but I am mostly in hurry so following works for me!
Adding Chris Lea’s Repo
Using Launchpad repo by Chris Lea just run following commands
apt-get install python-software-properties apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js apt-get update
node.js install
apt-get install nodejs
Check node.js version
node -v
Outputs
v0.10.20
npm install
Above command should install npm.
Check npm version
npm -v
Outputs
1.4.3
If for some reason, if you see npm is not installed, you may try running:
apt-get install npm
