nodejs

Installs node and npm on RHEL 6/CentOS 6/Ubuntu 12.04 via standard packaging mechanisms - Chris Lea's PPA on Debian and the EPEL repository on RHEL/CentOS.

Can also install a set of global npm packages.

Adheres to semantic versioning (http://semver.org/) - you are advised to install / depend on a major version number to avoid breaking changes.

Credits: I initially developed this in isolation, but later took some inspiration from https://github.com/bcen/ansible-nodejs and bennojoy/openldap_server.

Requirements
