Node not getting installed in Ubuntu 14.04

Question

nvm version -> 0.29.0. Then installed libkrb5-dev and npm. npm --version -> 1.3.10

nodejs -v is showing v0.10.25, which is very old in /usr/bin But 'node' is not installed.

Need to install Node 4. Being new to node, any help appreciated.

Answer 1

Where does whereis node tell you Ubuntu is looking for Node?

I'm not sure if this exists on Ubuntu, but on OS X there's a file called /etc/paths which sets the precedence of where binaries are loaded from.

I'm going to guess that you've installed Node to /usr/local/bin so it might be a case of moving this to the top of that file and restarting.
