How can I upgrade Node on my machine from terminal without using any external tools?

I am using a MacBook and I had installed Node.js through the Node installer. Current version is 0.10.32 and I would like to upgrade to 4.1.2. How do I upgrade without using any external libraries like homebrew/nvm etc?

Well, just... download the new installer and install it :) Or you can update it over npm.

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n 
sudo n stable

The best way of installing and managing node version in your machine is through nvm

github.com/creationix/nvm

Perfect. I could have used the installer, but was thinking of other ways to do it. Didn't know npm could be used to upgrade Node. Thanks Jakub!
