last version of NodeJS install by apt-get

问题:

Debian Linux (Debian Stable, UBUNTU LTS, etc.) and others use apt-get as good and reliable installer tool. I need to use only apt-get... The problem is that I do the simple

sudo apt-get install nodejs 

but as result I have nodejs --version (or node --version)

 0.10.41 

(!) It is not the today's most updated stable Node.JS version,

 5.2.0 

I also try node -p process.versions.v8 that results in

  3.14.5.9   

so, also is very less than 5.2.

---

NOTES

I am using UBUNTU 14 LTS.... And try a workaround but not works,

 sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs  sudo apt-get remove --purge node  #enforce any lapse 

And, as this suggestion

 curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -  sudo apt-get install nodejs 

not works, some results.

When installing from nodesource, you need to specify which version you want to install.

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_iojs_3.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_iojs_2.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_iojs_1.x | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo -E bash - curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.10 | sudo -E bash - 

Followed by

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs (or sudo apt-get install -y iojs for iojs)

When using the url without any version (as you did), it seems you get node 0.10 for some reason.

You'll find more information here.
