As in our last post, we need to manage versions of http://nodejs.org/.

There are different solutions,

• install from source : instructions are here, but this is a git-clone,make,make install solution
• use macports: sudo port install nodejs
• use n, which manages multiple node versions simultaneously

I Chose all three in turn, but I am now usign n. Use or install the latest official release:

sudo npm install -g n
n ls             # list available node versions
n --latest       # print the latest version available
n bin <version>  # print the bin path
sudo n latest    # install latest

n manages its installations in /usr/local/n/versions/.
