Can you use nodejs with install4j

Can you use install4j with nodejs? I have a server I need to have an installer for, can install4j work with this?
If not do any of you know something that can/
Other installers seem that would take a lot of time to solve my issue, since I also need information from the user (like paths.)
You can install anything with install4j. However, the installer requires a JRE to run so you have to bundle one with it, even though you don't need it for your installed application. Also, a lot of install4j's functionality is geared towards supporting Java launchers, so that will not be useful for you.

What are the way programmers are using to deploy its node.js app in ubuntu?

What is the recommended way to deploy Node.js on Ubuntu 12.04 in a production environment?
I saw this ppa but I don't know if is well maintained or if it will and if is a source in witch one can trust.
I know that is easy install Node.js manually, but seem to me that install it using the Ubuntu packages manager will allow me safe some management time and will be more integrated with the way the underlying server is being currently management. So, what are your recommendations? Thanks in advanced.
we are using Chef with the existing node.js cookbook
Well, after read lot of posts and pages that talk about Node.js deployment-installation, I must said that Chris PPA is mentioned in tons of them as an official source. Beside one can see her PPA linked at the Github Node.js wiki.
So, seem to me that is trust enough to be used in production, what made it the choice if you want keep your system updated using standards Ubuntu tools.

Which Node.js module should I install to be able to use google protocol buffers?

It seems that there are a few modules available for Node.js from multiple people to work with protocol buffers. Some are more or less actively maintained. I found https://github.com/chrisdew/protobuf which seems to be working fine. But is there a tried and true (officially certified) path?
No doubt... the better,complete and beautifully designed is: Protobuf.js
Cheers!
There are no official implementations of Protobuf aside from Java, Python and C++. For node.js, you'll probably want to go with chrisdew since it's the one on npm. I personally use my own fork because I need to work with int64's.
It's worth mention protocol-buffers nodejs package as an option
Now you already have a JS google official version. You can download it here https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases
