How to install node.js on Ubuntu 13.04 / 13.10

Node. js is a new technology used to replace some of current server side technologies. node.js is a javascript programing language , that can used to write server side programs. Now a day , we use javascript for client side programming but node.js  allows us to write server side also. I think it can be used to replace PHP, JSP and ASP like scripting language. In this post  we will explain  How to Install Node.js on Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10. Like all Ubuntu apps , we have two methods , 1. Download and Install node.js from source package , 2. Using Terminal and PPA's. Here  I like to use the second one , which is simple and easy for all people.
