If you are looking to use a package manager, Joyent has a full wiki page on
it
here,
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager.
Most of us used to use the Chris Lea PPA for Ubuntu, but now NodeSource is
hosting it.

(note that I did not come up with this method, but I am reposting it here
in case something happens to the link)
export NODE_PARENT=/
