For those that might find it useful, I wrote a tiny shell script to install the latest build of Node.js on *nix systems. It uses isaac’s wonderful nave utility to do all the work. The only difference is that you won’t have to download, link or meddle with the script itself!

This script will build node in ~/.nave/src and install it in /usr/local. A sudo passord may be required.

Usage

$ curl s8f.org/node | sh

enjoy!
