Installing Node.js via package manager
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.
Node.js is available in the portage tree.
# emerge nodejs
Node.js is available in official repo for Debian Sid(unstable).
For Debian Wheezy, your best bet is to compile node by yourself:
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*
./configure
checkinstall #(remove the "v" in front of the version number in the dialog)
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
Example install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
## Your version may be different. Look for "Version:" in /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_chris-lea_node.js_ubuntu_dists_precise_main_binary-amd64_Packages
sudo apt-get install nodejs=0.10.18-1chl1~precise1

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.
