Sorry: that was sent in a hurry from a mobile so I didn't include a link.
Node Version Manager (nvm) is a really useful tool for installing and managing node installations. It makes installing node a trivial one line command. It also allows installation of multiple versions of node and to switch between these using a single command; or IIRC even using a project level config file.
It's especially useful if working on multiple projects which may have dependencies on different node versions. Or running a project against the version of node available on the deployment server (to ensure you're developing/testing against the correct version) whilst still being able to try out a bleeding edge release locally.
So you're not tied to using the one version you installed using the method you described ;)
