Installing Node.js
For the stable versions, the official Node.js website supplies linked binaries that provide the easiest way to install Node.js on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Note that you need to download the right architecture version for your operating system. If you use Windows or Linux, make sure to download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version according to your system architecture. Mac users are safe to download the 64-bit version.
Note
After the merge between the Node.js and io.js projects, the version scheme continued directly from 0.12.x to 4.x. The team now uses the Long-term Support (LTS) policy. You can read about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_support. The latest stable version of Node.js is 6.x.
