I have installed node v0.10.1 but now when I run bower install I got this error:

bower extracting /tmp/bower-bootstrap-233205yl5tjk/index.zip

Description: Node.js event-based server-side javascript engine
 Node.js is similar in design to and influenced by systems like Ruby's Event Machine or Python's Twisted.

 It takes the event model a bit further - it presents the event loop as a language construct instead of as a library.

 Node.js is bundled with several useful libraries to handle server tasks : System, Events, Standard I/O, Modules, Timers, Child Processes, POSIX, HTTP, Multipart Parsing, TCP,
 DNS, Assert, Path, URL, Query Strings.

For anyone having this problem, I end up installing nvm through:

npm install nvm

And then used nvm to install node v0.8:

nvm install v0.8.1

And that solved the problem for me.
