Installing Node.js on Ubuntu 11.04 “Natty Narwhal”

Simple tutorial so I dont need to remember this ever again:

Step 1
sudo apt-get install -y g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils git-core && git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git && cd node && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Step 2
Code =)

Note that “make” may take awhile depending on your machine.

    Ahhhh, you don’t like commands? This is the problem I have with Ubuntu. A distribution that non technical people can use. NO!!!! We don’t want you! Buy a Mac.

    If I could afford a Mac I would =)

    Same here. Unfortunately, I’d need to pay almost double the money to get a mac with the power of my current notebook..
    I am an experienced frontend JS developer, familiar with Eclipse, running Ubuntu in VirtualBox on Windows to investigate NodeJS for the first time.
    Any tips, guidelines or tutorials you can recommend to someone like me? What is your prefered IDE?

    Thanks for the nice command!
