#Nodejs stuff

##install

For Debian Wheezy, your best bet is to compile node by yourself:

 sudo apt-get install python g++ make checkinstall fakeroot
 src=$(mktemp -d) && cd $src
 wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
 tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd node-v*
 ./configure
 sudo fakeroot checkinstall -y --install=no --pkgversion $(echo $(pwd) | sed -n -re's/.+node-v(.+)$/\1/p') make -j$(($(nproc)+1)) install
 sudo dpkg -i node_*

sudo apt-get install python g++ make checkinstall
mkdir ~/src && cd $_
wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd node-v*
./configure
checkinstall #(remove the "v" in front of the version number in the dialog)
sudo dpkg -i node_*

Uninstall:

sudo dpkg -r node

In case you get a permission denied on the node executable, an alternative path might be:

umask 0022
./configure
make
checkinstall -D --umask 0022 --reset-uids --install=no
dpkg -i node_*.deb
