Different versions of nodejs and node

While installing Node.js and npm, I’ve somehow ended up with different versions of nodejs and node.

# node -v
v6.9.5
# nodejs -v
v7.10.1

Getting inspired from Completely removing Node.js and Npm, I’ve managed to fix the mess:

git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
cd node/
./configure
sudo make uninstall

The result?

# node -v
v7.10.1
# nodejs -v
v7.10.1
