How to use the terminal. You can for example use gnome-terminal
.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev curl git-core
Below we will install NVM.
git clone https://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm
echo -e "\n. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
In this example, I am going to install node v0.4.12. We first need open new bash session. You can also do this by typing bash
again.
$ bash
$ nvm install v0.4.12 #This takes a while.
To make the latest v0.4 branch default you do
$ nvm alias default 0.4
When you don't have all dependencies installed you can not compile/install node.js. Then you will need to clean up ~/.nvm
$ rm -rf ~/.nvm/

The top answer is out of date. Now, just follow the guide on the github to install :
https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation
For linux machines, its as simple as :
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v*/install.sh | bash
Replace v*
with the latest version from https://github.com/creationix/nvm/releases.
For example:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
