• Tested on Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04
• Should work fine on Centos, RHEL, etc.

• build-essential
• apt

Opscode cookbooks (http://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/tree/master)

• nodejs['install_method'] = source or package
• nodejs['version'] - release version of node to install
• nodejs['src_url'] - download location for node source tarball
• nodejs['dir'] - location where node will be installed, default /usr/local
• nodejs['npm'] - version of npm to install
• nodejs['npm_src_url'] - download location for npm source tarball
• nodejs['check_sha'] - test for valid sha_sum, default: true

Include the nodejs recipe to install node on your system based on the default installation method:

• include_recipe "nodejs"

Include the install_from_source recipe to install node from sources:

• include_recipe "nodejs::install_from_source"

Include the install_from_package recipe to install node from packages: Note that only apt (Ubuntu, Debian) appears to have up to date packages available. Centos, RHEL, etc are non-functional. (Try install_from_binary for those)

• include_recipe "nodejs::install_from_package"

Include the install_from_binary recipe to install node from official prebuilt binaries: (Currently Linux x86, x86_64, armv6l only)
