Starting with node v0.8.6, we're gonna be releasing official binary tarballs of the releases for the most common platform+architecture combos.

Here's a simple script that will install node using a simple curl | tar piping. By default the files will get installed into /usr/local (note: you may need to stick sudo in front of the tar command). Change the PREFIX variable to /usr/local if you're feeling ambitious.

#!/bin/sh

VERSION=0.8.6
PLATFORM=darwin
ARCH=x64
PREFIX="$HOME/node-v$VERSION-$PLATFORM-$ARCH"

curl http://nodejs.org/dist/v$VERSION/node-v$VERSION-$PLATFORM-$ARCH.tar.gz | tar xzvf - --strip-components=1 -C $PREFIX
