The way I tend to do it is grab one of the binary tarballs and just do tar -C /usr/local --strip-compontents 1 -xf node-v0.12.5-linux-x64.tgz, normally by piping directly from curl (from a local mirror which I've already verified the checksums on!). But I tend to use VMs and containers and generate them using scripts, so instead of worrying about the "easy upgrading" of using apt-get, I just re-build the image with a newer version of node.
For my dev environment I just use nvm. ~Ryan On Tue, 30 Jun 2015 at 18:05 James Ramsfield <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I have the followring question > > I'm have tried installing nodejs on ubuntu using the following command: > > sudo apt-get nodejs > > Problem is that it didnt install v0.12.5, but instead install an early > version of nodej (10.4 I think).
