Support for this repository, along with its scripts, can be found on GitHub at nodesource/distributions.

Node.js is available from the NodeSource Debian and Ubuntu binary distributions repository (formerly Chris Lea's Launchpad PPA). Nowadays, Node.js represents a 'JavaScript everywhere' paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts. Historically, Javascript was used primarily for client-side scripting, in which scripts written in JavaScript are embedded in a webpage's HTML and run client-side by a JavaScript engine in the user's web browser. Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform Javascript run-time environment that executes Javascript code outside the browser.
