Configuring Terminal on Mac

I installed Node.js via the precompiled package but I can't access it correctly via the Terminal.

> node

does not work instead I have to type:

> sudo /usr/local/bin/node

My $PATH reads:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin

What do I need to configure?

I am running OSX 10.10 (14A299l) (XCode6 Beta 4 is installed)

If you compiled this package as root it is likely that the file structure all has root ownership. What do you see when you type,

 ls -l /usr/local/bin/

If the node.js folder says something like root:root before it then you need to change the permissions via 

chmod -R user:user /usr/local/bin/node....
