Starting with node v0.8.6, we're gonna be releasing official binary tarballs of the releases for the most common platform+architecture combos.
Here's a simple script that will install node using a simple curl | tar
piping. By default the files will get installed into your HOME directory. Change the PREFIX variable to /usr/local
if you're feeling ambitious (note: you may need to run this as root
depending on the PREFIX).
:D this should have been done like 2 years ago haha
