# I recommend compiling source code "http://nodejs.org" than using apt-get.
#sudo apt-get install nodejs
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.24/node-v0.10.24.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-v0.10.24.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.24 && ./configure && make && sudo make install

in most cases when error occurs during sudo apt-get update
the problem is with archive sources so run

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

sources.list file will be opened in text editor; go to "search" menu click on "Replace"
https://"LOOK FOR CHARACTERS like pk".archive.ubuntu with http://archive.ubuntu
save the file
run on terminal following command :

sudo apt-get update
thats it

thanks abid-hussain

update install nodejs.

I was facing the same issue in Debian, and solved it in a more general way that abid-hussain suggests, by commenting out the given 'sources.list' entries which were leading to the error message

"E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."

in order to get a 'clean'

'sudo apt-get update' process showing no errors

thanks abid-hussain

thanx, this is very useful for me :)

+1 Thanks!!!
