Installing node.js on centos-6.4?

Question

Node.js

I dug into the docks and here is the problem, here
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Nod...
they write how to do it, earlier npm and nodejs version 10-20 were installed from the repository (and from the sources is not assembled correctly, again based on the article).
The question is how to put it right, or how to update from npm, otherwise after the update everything “crumbles”?
Can you describe the process step by step (even on a clean system), installation and upgrade?

Disclaimer: I'm not an admin and don't know much about servers, but due to circumstances I have to do it myself.
Prior to Deployments on Rackspace, I was building node.js from source. I update the same.
Note: on a new system, pre-install all dev packages.

yum install openssl-devel (если не установлен)
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.24/node-v0.10.24.tar.gz
tar zxvf node-v0.10.24.tar.gz
cd node-v0.10.24
./configure
make
make install
