Install node version manager (nvm) by typing the following at the command line.

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash

Use nvm to install Node.js because nvm can install multiple versions of Node.js and allow you to switch between them.

Activate nvm by typing the following at the command line.

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

Use nvm to install the version of Node.js you intend to use by typing the following at the command line.

nvm install 4.4.5

Installing Node.js also installs the Node Package Manager (npm) so you can install additional modules as needed.

Test that Node.js is installed and running correctly by typing the following at the command line.

node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

This should display the following message that confirms the installed version of Node.js running.

Running Node.js v4.4.5
