偶然发现了这个，奇怪的是后来很难再找到了。为子孙后代写在这里:

sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel

EDIT 3:截至2016年7月，EDIT 1不再适用于nodejs 4 (EDIT 2也一样)。这个答案(https://stackoverflow.com/a/35165401/78935)给出了一个真正的单行程序。

编辑1:如果你正在寻找nodejs 4，请尝试EPEL测试repo:

sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel-testing

编辑2:使用上面的命令从EPEL repo安装的nodejs 0.12升级到EPEL测试repo的nodejs 4，请遵循以下步骤:

sudo yum rm nodejs
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/node
sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel-testing

较新的包将节点二进制文件放在/usr/bin中，而不是/usr/local/bin。

一些背景知识:

选项——enablerepo=epel会导致yum在epel存储库中搜索包。

EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is open source and free community based repository project from Fedora team which provides 100% high quality add-on software packages for Linux distribution including RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), CentOS, and Scientific Linux. Epel project is not a part of RHEL/Cent OS but it is designed for major Linux distributions by providing lots of open source packages like networking, sys admin, programming, monitoring and so on. Most of the epel packages are maintained by Fedora repo. Via http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-for-rhel-centos-6-5/

Curl—silent—location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash - Sudo yum -y安装nodejs

最简单的解决方案是这样的(以root用户执行这些操作)

sudo su root
cd /etc
mkdir node
yum install wget
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.0.0/node-v9.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-v9.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd node-v9.0.0-linux-x64/bin
./node -v
ln -s /etc/node-v9.0.0-linux-x64/bin/node node

EC2-Instance的官方文档:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v2/developer-guide/setting-up-node-on-ec2-instance.html

 1. curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash
 2. . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
 3. nvm ls-remote (=> find your version x.x.x =>) nvm install  x.x.x
 4. node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

对于v4 LTS版本使用:

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs

对于Node.js v6的使用:

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs

在尝试在Amazon Linux上安装本机插件时，我也遇到了一些问题。如果你想这样做，你也应该安装构建工具:

yum install gcc-c++ make

简单的NVM安装…

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install node

如果要安装某个版本的Node(如18.12.1)，请将最后一行更改为

nvm install 18.12.1
