Android
Android support is still experimental in Node.js, so precompiled binaries are not yet provided by Node.js developers.
However, there are some third-party solutions. For example, Termux community provides terminal emulator and Linux environment for Android, as well as own package manager and extensive collection of many precompiled applications. This command in Termux app will install the last available Node.js version:
First, download and install Node.js 4.0.x or later and NPM (included with the installer) Linux/OSX. Sudo npm install -g tfx-cli. Npm install -g tfx-cli. On prezto or oh-my-zsh, do not forget to alias bower='noglob bower' or bower install jquery #1.9.1. Never run Bower with sudo. Bower is a user command; there is no need to execute it with superuser permissions. To use Bower on Windows, you must install Git for Windows correctly. Be sure to check the options shown below. Port install nodejs # Example port install nodejs7 Using pkgsrc: Install the binary package: pkgin -y install nodejs Or build manually from pkgsrc: cd pkgsrc/lang/nodejs && bmake install n. N is a simple to use Node.js version manager for Mac and Linux. Specify the target version to install using a rich syntax, or select from.
Currently, Termux Node.js binaries are linked against system-icu (depending on libicu package).
