git clone git://github.com/creationix/nvm.git ~/.nvm echo "\n. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" >> .bashrc In this example I am going to install node v0.4.12. We first need open new bash session. You can also do this by typing bash again.
$ bash $ nvm install v0.4.12 #This takes a while. To make the latest v0.4 branch default you do
