title: Laravel Homestead Upgrading Node.js
body: <p>I am new to Laravel but just installed a fresh installation of Laravel 5.1 on Homestead/Vagrant according to the <a href="http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/homestead" rel="nofollow">docs</a>.</p>
  
  <p>When I do npm install, I get this warning:</p>
  
  <pre><code>vagrant@homestead:~/Code/Laravel$ sudo npm install
  npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@0.3.8
  npm WARN engine get-stdin@5.0.0: wanted: {"node":"&gt;=0.12.0"} (current: {"node":"0.10.37","npm":"1.4.28"})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it safe to upgrade node.js and if yes, how?
  I read some articles where people destroyed their vagrant installation so I am afraid to do that. Any hints? </p>
