Version #1
Description
The current version is v0.8.20
If you use
wget -N http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
tar xzvf node-latest.tar.gz && cd ls -rd node-v*
you don't have to update it for every version.
additionally you should add
python-software-properties python make
to the apt-get install command like the original documentation [1].
Also this script should work with debian, so you can rewrite the title and help more peaple.
