The way I tend to do it is grab one of the binary tarballs and just do tar
-C /usr/local --strip-compontents 1 -xf node-v0.12.5-linux-x64.tgz,
normally by piping directly from curl (from a local mirror which I've
already verified the checksums on!). But I tend to use VMs and containers
and generate
My favorite way to install such things is to download binaries from a
project webpage and then symlink to /usr/local/bin or whatever other place
required. I can later delete the project from disk and remove all broken
links.
