The EPEL repo for CentOS 5.x doesn’t include node. So it’s either compile or grab the precompiled executable. The latter is a lot faster.
1. Download the tar file from Nodejs.org:
1 | wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26-linux-x64.tar.gz |
2. extract
1 | tar xvf node-v0.10.26-linux-x64.tar.gz |
3. remove files and copy
1 2 3 | cd node-v0.10.26-linux-x64 rm ChangeLog && rm LICENSE && rm README.md cp -r . /usr/ |
