Nodejs Installation

Question

I have installed node.js and the version is 0.6.12. I am trying to update it but the efforts are in vain. Even though i have installed the latest version the Terminal still shows the version as 0.6.12 which means that the installation is not successful. Please help . The screen shot:

Use the -g flag to install nodejs globally eg:

sudo n stable -g

Solution 2

There is a package manager for Node.js in Main Ubuntu repository called NPM. Using this package manager you can install Node.js
