The packages on this page are maintained and supported by their respective packagers, not the node.js core team. Please report any issues you encounter to the package maintainer. If it turns out your issue is a bug in node.js itself, the maintainer will report the issue upstream.
Gentoo
Node.js is available in the portage tree.
# emerge nodejs
Debian, LMDE
For Debian Wheezy, you have two options:
Build from source
sudo apt-get install python g++ make checkinstall
mkdir ~/src && cd $_
wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd node-v* #(remove the "v" in front of the version number in the dialog)
./configure
checkinstall
sudo dpkg -i node_*
Uninstall:
sudo dpkg -r node
In case you get a permission denied on the
node executable, an alternative path might be:umask 0022
./configure
make
checkinstall -D --umask 0022 --reset-uids --install=no
dpkg -i node_*.deb
Backports
Alternatively, you can install
nodejs from wheezy-backports. If you rely on having node as an executable, install nodejs-legacy as well.
If you need
npm as well, you can get it through the installercurl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
Ubuntu, Mint, Elementary OS
At Least from Ubuntu 13.04, an old version (0.6.x) of Node is in the standard repository. To install, just run:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Obtaining a recent version of Node or installing on older Ubuntu and other apt-based distributions may require a few extra steps. Example install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
It installs current stable Node on the current stable Ubuntu. Quantal (12.10) users may need to install the software-properties-commonpackage for the
add-apt-repository command to work: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
As of Node.js v0.10.0, the nodejs package from Chris Lea's repo includes both npm and nodejs-dev.
There is a naming conflict with the node package (Amateur Packet Radio Node Program), and the nodejs binary has been renamed from
node to nodejs. You'll need to symlink /usr/bin/node to /usr/bin/nodejs or you could uninstall the Amateur Packet Radio Node Program to avoid that conflict.openSUSE & SLE
