Intall Node.js v4 on your Raspberry Pi

The latest version of Node.js has full support for ARM processors, so it is this lean and simple to install: If you had nodejs already installed

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
Download Node.js source

Raspberry Pi Model A, B, B+ and Compute Module

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.0.0/node-v4.0.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz 
 tar -xvf node-v4.0.0-linux-armv6l.tar.gz 
 cd node-v4.0.0-linux-armv6l

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.0.0/node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz
 tar -xvf node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz 
 cd node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l

Copy to /usr/local

sudo cp -R * /usr/local/

Probably you will have to refresh your ENV variables so simple run: bash

And now feel free to check your current running version and write some code!

node -v

everything works great until the command:
sudo cp -R * /usr/local/

then nothing happens. any idea of what could be going on?
