1. Install node.js dependencies

   sudo apt-get install g++ make git libssl-dev

2. Download, compile node.js source

   mkdir ~/downloads cd downloads wget "http://nodejs.org/dist/node-v0.4.12.tar.gz" tar -xzvf node-v0.4.12.tar.gz cd node-v0.4.12/ ./configure make sudo make install

3. Install NPM

   curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

4. Install log.io
