update node installation on linux

[NodeNinja]

I manually installed node on linux from a tar file following instructions from https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation

Unfortunately I installed v0.8.10 which seems to have a regression.

Is it possible for me now to upgrade the current installation without hassle to v0.8.11, if so what steps would I need to follow?

[Kurt Symanzik]

Yes, just follow the same steps. Unarchive the source code into a
different folder and then run the same steps that you did before, i.e.:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Is it OK to keep the older version of node before building and installing the new version?

Yes, that's okay.
