What is the cleanest or most optimal way to keep an up-to-date installation of Node along with its accompanying packages on OS X? Homebrew always seems a touch behind (except for head).
在OS X上保持最新安装Node及其附带软件包的最简洁或最佳方法是什么？自制软件似乎总是落后（除了头部）。
Additionally, an interesting observation from the Node.js wiki says:
另外，Node.js维基的一个有趣的观察结果是：
Warning: brew installs are known to be buggy
警告：众所周知，brew安装有问题
Further, is there a preferred method to update the installed packages as well (across node updates and just generally updating them)?
此外，是否有一种更新已安装软件包的首选方法（跨节点更新，只是更新它们）？

I use a tool called NVM to manage Node.js installation; you can install and switch to various versions of Node.js with a single command. You can find NVM at https://github.com/creationix/nvm.

I personally switched back to homebrew because installing the official package would foul up my path and which version of node I use.
我亲自切换回自制软件包，因为安装官方软件包会弄乱我的路径以及我使用的节点版本。
And node packages shall not be installed globally so every new npm install will fetch the newest version if asked to do so.
并且节点包不应全局安装，因此如果要求，每个新的npm安装都将获取最新版本。
