Here's how I use rename:
rename 's/search/replace/' *
And here's it in action:
oli@bert:~/Desktop/rawr$ ls
pie\u333.sh
oli@bert:~/Desktop/rawr$ rename 's/\\u333/PIE/' *
oli@bert:~/Desktop/rawr$ ls
piePIE.sh

Installing NPM and NodeJS in Ubuntu
Possible Solution (Not Tested):
http://www.hostingadvice.com/how-to/install-nodejs-ubuntu-14-04/
Updating NPM
Refer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23393707/how-to-update-npm
This will update npm using npm itself:
# This is for initial installation
$ sudo npm install npm -g
# This is for upgrade
$ sudo npm update npm -g
From article: If you are stuck, try sudo npm update npm -g. All credit goes to Tim Castelijns. I have tested it on ubuntu 14.04, npm 1.3.10
Note that if you are using nvm for managing multiple versions in your local dev environment for e.g. testing purposes, all your installed versions (listed by nvm ls) are in ~/.nvm, hence you just omit system wide installation (i.e. omit sudo):
$ npm install npm -g

Ubuntu
In Ubuntu, you’ll want to do the following:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw
If you are on a ThinkPad, you’ll need to install a few more packages for maximum battery life, which you can do with the command sudo apt-get install tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-tools.
# Start the service, only needs done once, will start automatically on boot-up
$ sudo tlp start
