Installing node.js on Linode (Ubuntu 10.04)

Never really used Ubuntu for a server before.

Here's I was able to get it setup to run node.js and mongoDB.

Node:

 apt-get update

 apt-get install build-essential

 apt-get install openssl

 apt-get install libssl-dev 

 cd /root

 mkdir builds

 cd builds

 wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.6.7/node-v0.6.7.tar.gz

 tar xzvf node-v0.6.7.tar.gz

 cd node-v0.6.7

 ./configure

 make

 make install

Mongo:

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen
