I'm trying to install node.js on ubuntu 14.10

I do not want to use the ubuntu package but the latest stable version of node - v0.10.36 so I have installed pvm and have installed node v0.10.36

so far so good, when i run

node -v

it correctly gives me the right version.

However if I now close the console I did the install from and open a new console, and run node -v again, I get the infamous conflict message -

The program 'node' can be found in the following packages:
 * node
 * nodejs-legacy
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

If I run nvm install 0.10.36, it tells me it is already installed, but node -v works again

I cannot actually see node in usrbin

How to I find out where it got installed to and what do I have to do to make node work between console closes?

You can do it simply by create symbolic link to nodejs:

First check if nodejs exist:
ls -l /usr/bin/nodejs

The create symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

  I don't have a nodejs, node was installed by nvm to .nvm/v0.10.26/bin in my home directory. Do I still set a symbolic link or add the directory to my PATH?

Getting the same error on Ubuntu 14.04 when closing the console.

As seen here, once NVM is installed, you have to create a default to start with the console :

To set a default Node version to be used in any new shell, use the
alias 'default':

nvm alias default node

There seems to be a problem with node package in Ubuntu... I saved myself a headache by downloading node zip from the official site and extracted the files to their respective postions.... I.e the files in the extracted bin folder to /usr/bin and the rest respectively
