First pass at getting started
Includes links to various ways of installing node.js. Also includes links to basic getting started resources. This is very preliminary and would love to see how it could be made better. That being said I think it is important to keep it from getting too long.

###Installing Node
4+
5+
The simplest way to install node is from [nodejs.org][nodejs.org].
6+
7+
You can also install node via a [system package manager][node-via-package-manager].
8+
9+
Node specific version managers as [nvm][nvm] or [n][n] can also be used.
10+
11+
###What do I do now?
12+
13+
This really depends on how comfortable you feel.
14+
15+
If you have never done javascript before you might want to first check out [javaScript For Cats][for-cats].
16+
17+
If you are comfortable with js but have never played with node you can't go wrong with checking out [node school][node-school].
