Jerome,

If you want to have a little more control, either compile from source or 
grab a binary:
http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.7/

I tend to put them under a directory structure like: 
$HOME/.local/nodejs/0.10.7

To make that version active in your shell, you add the path to that 
version's "bin" directory to your $PATH, and add "share/man" to $MANPATH.

To switch to a new version (if you ever need to do that -- most people do 
not, but some OCD people like me do), you can update the $PATH and $MANPATH 
variables.

To automate that process, you can check out any of the available version 
switchers for node.
