Under Ubuntu, directly from the source to install Nodejs, this version is OK, but the related express, etc., will be older.
The use of source installation, first download Nodejs source code, and then three steps:
./
There may be permissions problems, just use sudo.
Installing Express is tricky, first installing Express:
NPM Install Express
The new version is also going to install another thing:
sudo npm install-g express-generator
In this case, Express is complete and express-v can see the version.
However, the creation of the project, the direct introduction of the express test, is problematic, it should be that express is not added to the environment variables.
So the test, or the need to create a project with Express, then, in the project, NPM install-d, Express will be redeployed to the project.
To test later, first create a package.json that will introduce express to the inside. This way, for the case of no network. It's a bit of egg ache.
