I'm using Hostmonster as my hosting company and am trying to install it using the instructions found here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation the problem is that everything seems to go ok but a /bin doesn't get created so when I edit .bashrc with export PATH=$PATH:/opt/node/bin and then try to run node --version I get command not found.
Found the answer here: http://rcrisman.net/article/10/installing-nodejs-on-hostmonster-bluehost-accounts
I skipped a step.
