如何在Linux上通过二进制存档安装Node.js？

How to install Node.js via binary archive on Linux?

1. Unzip the binary archive to any directory you wanna install Node, I use /usr/local/lib/nodejs

VERSION=v8.11.4
DISTRO=linux-x64
curl -fSL https://nodejs.org/dist/$VERSION/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO.tar.xz -o node-$VERSION-$DISTRO.tar.xz
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/nodejs
sudo tar -xJvf node-$VERSION-$DISTRO.tar.xz -C /usr/local/lib/nodejs 

2. create a sudo link

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO/bin/node /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO/bin/npx /usr/bin/npx

3. Test installation using

$ node -v

$ npm version

$ npx -v

the normal output is:

➜  node -v
v8.11.4
➜  npm version

 ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
 cldr: '31.0.1',
