Node.js v7.x:

NOTE: Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu Precise packages are NOT available for this release. Please reference running Node.js >= 4.x on older distros

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

Node.js v6.x:

NOTE: If you are using Ubuntu Precise or Debian Wheezy, you might want to read about running Node.js >= 4.x on older distros.

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

Node.js v5.x:

NOTE: If you are using Ubuntu Precise or Debian Wheezy, you might want to read about running Node.js >= 4.x on older distros.

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

or you can just download NVM ( Node Version Manager ) and switch between your node js versions as your project requirement.

#Using ubuntu/Debian
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
#Using Centos or rpm distributions
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash

• Ensure that nvm was installed correctly with nvm --version, which should return the version of nvm installed.
• Install the version of Node.js you want
• Install the latest version with nvm install node
• Use the latest version with nvm use node
• Install the latest LTS version with nvm install --lts
• Use the latest LTS version with nvm use --lts

NVM is really handy when it comes to development on node js projects.
