Solved it. Helped by StackOverflow. Used following command.
curl | sudo sh My previous command
sudo curl | sh was fetching the url with root privileges. I was supposed to do sh with root privileges.
Adding Chris Lea’s Repo
Using Launchpad repo by Chris Lea just run following commands
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 Outputs
v0.10.20 npm install
Above command should install npm.
Check npm version
npm -v Outputs
1.4.3 If for some reason, if you see npm is not installed, you may try running:
apt-get install npm I solved this using:
curl -L | sudo sh When I used without -L, the command does not work.
