Where should I install node.js?

I'm wondering in which directory I should go to install node.js on a CentOS 5/cPanel server by executing the following commands mentioned in the Wiki:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/joyent/node.git
cd node
git checkout origin/v0.4 # optional.  Note that master is unstable.
export JOBS=2 # optional, sets number of parallel commands.
mkdir ~/local
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/node
make
make install
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/node/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
source ~/.profile

Please advise.

I like to install latest version of node.js using something called nvm.

Like Raynos said you are better of using node v0.4.8 instead of development branch to avoid broken packages.

The more conventional locations for a multi-user system are:

/usr/bin/node
/usr/local/bin/node

But as @Raynos stated you can put it wherever you want to.
