INSTALLING NODE.JS FROM EPEL REPOSITORY

An alternative method of installing node.js is from the Epel Repository that is available for CentOS and other linux distro's. To get access to the repo you must first install the epel-release by.

sudo yum install epel-release

Press y for yes and let it install.

After that you can just install node.js from yum.

sudo yum install nodejs

To verify the installed version you can do.

node --version
