The easiest way to install NodeJS is using the official PPA (which contain the latest version (8.X at the time of this edit).
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run :
-

sudo apt-get purge nodejs* -
Install
curlsudo apt-get install curl -
Install NodeJS:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
If you absolutely need 0.12 and not 4.1.1 version, run :
