cd ~
sudo apt-get install libv8-2.0.3 libv8-dev libv8-dbg libssl-dev curl
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf node-v0.4.3.tar.gz
cd node-v0.4.3
./configure && make && make install
sudo curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
sudo npm install socket.io

First we change to our home directory via cd ~ … even though the tilda in the code above looks like a hyphen. Then we install Google V8, SSL development files and cURL. Next we grab Node.js, configure and install it. Nearly last, we download and install npm. Finally, we tell npm to install socket.io for us.
