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
