You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from
|
||||||
|
[http://nodejs.org/download/](http://nodejs.org/download/). The Windows
|
||||||
|
and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to.
|
||||||
|
The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory
|
||||||
|
with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Or system-wide with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
|
||||||
|
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
