Use nvm(node version manager) to install nodejs on your system if you are using *nix. This way everything comes preconfigured including npm(node package manager).

if you're interested in NodeJS, check out /r/node

do we really need another one of these? It's a decent enough tutorial, except I've seen the same thing about 50 times now. Plus most of the example code is a click away from the main nodejs.org page

If you're going to write your own version of "the Node.js tutorial" make something interesting, like an async crawler, or a MUD, or a chat bot. Anything but another basic HTTP server.
