git clone git@github.com:nodejs/node.git

cd node
./configure

node -v

sudo yum install curl

sudo su
PATH=$PATH:/home/ec2-user/node
export PATH
curl https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh

In case you have to do this again, this repo was moved to: https://github.com/nodejs/node ... Thanks for this tho. I was surprised it wasn't a default package.

node js has moved to git@github.com:nodejs/node.git thanks for this!

Also, the npmjs.org url returns a 301. Add the -L flag to the curl call to follow the redirect.

curl https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh

Thanks for the updates. Script has been updated
