## Choosing a specific version

2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
echo "Current node.js version is $(curl -fsSL https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab | head -2 | tail -1 | cut -f 1)"

# To install a specific version rather than defaulting to latest
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
# latest version at time of writing are v4.4.1 and v5.9.1
2016-03-28 21:00:38 +00:00

### Apple OS X
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
2015-01-21 05:45:27 +00:00
First you need to **Install XCode Command Line Tools**
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
xcode-select --install
```
2015-01-21 05:45:27 +00:00
Then you need to **Accept the XCode License** by running any command installed by Xcode with sudo. We'll use git.
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
sudo git --version
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
```
You can scroll to the bottom by hitting shift+G (capital G).
2015-01-15 22:59:32 +00:00
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
Type `agree` and hit enter to accept the license.
2015-01-15 22:59:32 +00:00
2015-12-09 20:40:29 +00:00
Now you can install node.js
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
2015-01-08 18:39:49 +00:00
```bash
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
curl -fsSL bit.ly/nodejs-dev-install -o /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-dev.sh
2014-12-22 00:36:52 +00:00
```
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
*TODO*: Make it easier to accepting the license (automatic?)
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
### Ubuntu Linux
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
2015-01-21 05:39:46 +00:00
```bash
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
wget -nv bit.ly/nodejs-dev-install -O /tmp/node-dev.sh; bash /tmp/node-dev.sh
2015-01-21 02:34:25 +00:00
```
2016-03-28 20:56:29 +00:00
### Other things you should know
