    Set python26 to be the default in your shell when you simply execute 'python'
    This is critical to being able to build node modules with native extensions
    ```bash
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/bin`
    $ ln -s /usr/bin/python26 $HOME/bin/python
    $ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/bin`
    $ ln -s /usr/bin/python26 $HOME/bin/python
    $ echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
    ```

    Activate modified .bashrc for current terminal session
    `$ source ~/.bashrc`
    ```bash
    $ source ~/.bashrc
    ```

    Verify Python 2.6 is ready to go. (Should print "Python 2.6.8")
    `$ python -V`
    ```bash
    $ python -V
    ```

    Install Development Toolchain
    `$ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"`
    ```bash
    $ sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
    ```

    Switch to home directory:
    `$ cd ~`
    ```bash
    $ cd ~
    ```

    Download Node 0.8.4 source tarball:
    `$ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.4/node-v0.8.4.tar.gz`
    ```bash
    $ wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.8.4/node-v0.8.4.tar.gz

    Untar:
    `$ tar -xzf node-v0.8.4.tar.gz`
    ```bash
    $ tar -xzf node-v0.8.4.tar.gz
    ```

    Switch to node directory:
    `$ cd node-v0.8.4`
    ```bash
    $ cd node-v0.8.4
    ```

    Run configure script with newly installed python binary
    $ ./configure
    ```bash
    $ ./configure
    ```

    Compile Node
    $ make -j5
    ```bash
    $ make -j5
    ```

    Install Node
    $ sudo make install
    ```bash
    $ sudo make install
