Building node from sources

Node.js with NPM 1.2 or newer is required to build the project. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, visit page http://nodejs.org/download/ and download the source code package. See the prequisites for the Node installation from https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation and if necessary install them with apt-get, for example, sudo apt-get install make. You will also need g++.

Run: tar -zxf node-v0.X.X.tar.gz, cd node-v0.X.X, sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install, and export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin. You may want to add the export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin to .profile file in your home directory, so that the node is found automatically in future.
