Installing Node.js, Sails, and other goodies on a blank-slate Ubuntu instance

Installing Sails on a blank-slate ubuntu server

# Install Node.js and friends
# (From https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager)
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm nodejs-dev

# Install other tools we like
sudo apt-get install git emacs

# Install Sails and Forever
sudo npm -g install sails forever

Thanks, saved me a lot of time, easy integration with an Chef-solo Cookbook.
