Install node.js

Node.js is a server-side javascript environment.

You'll need to have git and build-essential packages.

$ mkdir -p $HOME/opt

$ git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git && cd node

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/opt

$ make

$ make install

Add $HOME/opt/bin to your path. Add to $HOME/.bashrc

if [ -d ~/opt/bin ]; then
    PATH=$HOME/opt/bin:"${PATH}"
fi

Reload it:

$ source $HOME/.bashrc

See what version you've got:

$ node -v

At the time of this writting, I got v0.5.0-pre.

Install node package manager

Node package manager, aka npm, is the way we have to install packages and dependencies.

You'll need to have curl client installed.
