# specify which version we want
export NODE_VERSION=4.3.1
# download
cd /tmp
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v4.3.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz node-v$NODE_VERSION.tar.gz
# build it and install it only locally
cd node-v$NODE_VERSION
./configure --prefix=/var/lib/jenkins/node-v$NODE_VERSION && make && make install
# Check versions of node and npm
export PATH=/var/lib/jenkins/node-v$NODE_VERSION/bin:$PATH
node --version
# v4.3.1
npm --version
# 3.7.5
# install tools
npm install -g bower gulp
bower --version
