[Error msg] nodejs has been replaced by nodejs4; please install that instead.

• URL: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#osx
• Browser version: not relevant
• Operating system: OS X.8, bash version 3.2.53(1)-release

Issue details:

There is a wrong or outdated instruction on the page https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#osx:

Using MacPorts:
port install nodejs

When trying to install node.js this way, Terminal (bash) gives back this error:

---> Configuring nodejs
Error: nodejs has been replaced by nodejs4; please install that instead.
Error: org.macports.configure for port nodejs returned: obsolete port
Please see the log file for port nodejs for details:
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_nodejs/nodejs/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port nodejs failed

So either it is node.js or MacPorts that needs to update the installation routine.

Thanks for correcting
