Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

A simple Facebook PHP example.

/**
* A simple Facebook PHP example.
*
* - This is not a "Facebook SDK".
* - This example uses Curl, Hash, JSON, Session extensions.
* - This does not use the JavaScript SDK, nor the cookie set by it.
* - This works with Canvas, Page Tabs with IFrames, the Registration Plugin
* and with any other flow which uses the signed_request.
