nodejs installation in redhat AWS

From last 4 hours I am trying to install nodejs, I have a linux machine.

 **$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)**

I have downloaded the nodeJs setup and when I run the (./configure) command its showing error.

$ ./configure 
  File "./configure", line 511
    o['default_configuration'] = 'Debug' if options.debug else 'Release'
                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Solution

  • Your RHEL 5 has old Python version.

    Run python --version. You need at least Python 2.7 for that install script to work, so update your Python first.
