title: Install Node.js with downloaded binary on Ubuntu Desktop.. Where do the files go?
body: <p>I've downloaded Node.js directly from <a href="https://nodejs.org/en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://nodejs.org/en/</a> onto my Ubuntu Desktop operating system.  I can easily unpackage the <code>node-vX.X.0-linux-x64.tar.xz</code> file, and I can see node directories: bin, include, lib, share.  I'm guessing my download folder, <code>~/Downloads/node-vX.X.0-linux-x64</code>, is not going to be the final installation location.  </p>
  
  <p>My guess would be to copy all of the directory over to  <code>/usr/bin/node/node-vX.X.-linux-x64</code> but I'm not really sure.</p>
  
  <p>Where do these files go?  (I've tried the readme.md file in the download and the docs on that site.  I would have thought something, somewhere on nodejs.org would have offered a bit of help...)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a special installation step required here?  </p>
