How to install nodejs 6.7.0 on Ubuntu 14

Question

I have found some guides (for ex. Install latest nodejs version in ubuntu 14.04) how to install updated version of NodeJS, also followed the official one that says to use

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

which is the same thing as in the SO guide above. However, the version of node I get is 6.3.1 but I want the latest 6.7.0. I have installed 6.7.0 on OSX via brew but don't know how to get it on Ubuntu. Is there any way to do it, using APT preferably?

When down voting, can you at least specify why...? It's like saying "I think it's wrong" with "because ..." missing — simPod, Oct 04 '16 at 10:25
You can use nvm (Node version manager ) and install any version — Himanshu Goyal, Oct 04 '16 at 10:29
But via APT it's cleaner. Latest stable is 6.6.0. Why it doesn't give me that? — simPod, Oct 04 '16 at 10:31
i do't use that but nvm will provide flexibility to use any version at any time .you just put simple command and switch in to any version node — Himanshu Goyal, Oct 04 '16 at 10:32

I have done this way:-

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 6.7.0

Alternatively for latest stable version you can do this:-

sudo n stable

And For latest version

sudo n latest
