Installing nodejs binaries as a .deb package
Hi, I was wondering how I might be able to install the nodejs binaries as a .deb package, so I could easily uninstall it later. I tried to use the alien utility to convert a .tgz file to a .deb, but after installing with dpkg -i package, it didn't appear to install correctly, because I couldn't access the binaries, and when I do `which node`, there are no results. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
