Hi,

This is an easy way to install node.js and npm in ubuntu:

Adding Chris Lea’s Repo:(Using Launchpad repo by Chris Lea)

 apt-get install python-software-properties  
 apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js  
 apt-get update  

node.js Install :

 apt-get install nodejs  

Check node.js version

 node -v 

v0.10.33 

npm check/install :

If for some reason npm is not installed, you may try running:

apt-get install npm
