I have tried the following to install nodes into a centos box but I get an error when it reaches ./configure

Step 6 : RUN tar -zxf node-v0.10.28-linux-x64.tar.gz
---> Running in ebc71472544d
---> c97289348900

Step 7 : RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64
---> Running in 3470f862c586

Removing intermediate container 3470f862c586
Step 8 : RUN ./configure
 ---> Running in 16a811766136
/bin/sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

My Dockerfile

#Install NodeJS
RUN cd /usr/src
RUN wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.28/node-v0.10.28-linux-x64.tar.gz
RUN tar -zxf node-v0.10.28-linux-x64.tar.gz
RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64
RUN ./configure
RUN make &&
RUN make install

Am I using the right way of installing nodes to centos using the Dockerfile?

I'm assuming this isn't the whole Dockerfile, right? Otherwise you're missing at least a FROM.

Try to change the last 4 lines like that:

RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64 && ./configure
RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64 && make
RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64 && make install

or like this

RUN cd /node-v0.10.28-linux-x64 && ./configure && make && make install

As far as I can tell, docker is running each RUN command as a separate shell, so just changing the directory won't be remembered in the next commands.

Here is an example Docker file to test this:

FROM ubuntu

RUN cd /etc
RUN pwd

And here is the build log:

Step 2 : RUN pwd

[EDIT]

Another option is to use WORKDIR, like this:

#Install NodeJS
WORKDIR /usr/src
ADD http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.28/node-v0.10.28-linux-x64.tar.gz .
RUN tar -zxf node-v0.10.28-linux-x64.tar.gz
WORKDIR node-v0.10.28-linux-x64
RUN ./configure
RUN make &&
RUN make install

My solution using nvm: 

RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
RUN source $HOME/.bashrc && nvm install 12.14.1

RUN ln -s $HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v12.14.1/bin/node /usr/bin/node
RUN ln -s $HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v12.14.1/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm

RUN node -v
RUN npm -v
