Where can (can I ?) find .deb packages for the latest versions of Node.js ?
If not, and because it's a project that progresses very fast, what is the easiest way to keep up with the releases of Node.js ?

4.0 is the latest version of Node but doesn't currently have LTS - long term support provided for it. To install the latest version of Node with LTS, change 14 in the command above to 12 . You may be prompted to enter the password for your root user. Enter that and hit enter/return.
You can check your current NodeJS version by using command node -v. And changing your version can be done by using node version manager. The easiest way to do that is by running this $ npm install -g n now you can change your current NodeJS version using n (version) e.g. n 4.0.
Most up-to-date ppa for nodejs https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs NOTE: If your system does not have add-apt-repository, it can be installed like so:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties I'm the maintainer of the PPA listed above. I actually maintain three distinct Node PPAs:
https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js-devel https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js-legacy
They contain the current release, the development release, and the "previous stable line" respectively. Here's some more info on using them:
https://chrislea.com/2013/03/15/upgrading-from-node-js-0-8-x-to-0-10-0-from-my-ppa/
I currently intend to keep maintaining these unless the Joyent folks start maintaining their own repositories. They have me on IM so I'm generally quite aware of when new releases are coming out, and I try to put up new builds within a day of the source code being available.
