I want to fully delete the nodejs and npm from my Ubuntu device.
I ran these commands but still nodejs and npm in my device.
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
The output in terminal:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'nodejs' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 95 not upgraded.
So, after that when I open the terminal to check the version of the node and npm, I ran these commands:
>>> node -v
>>> npm -v
and still print to me the version of it, which is:
node: v10.15.2
npm: 6.4.1
What is the problem here, is my command wrong?

Follow this link: Github Error solved link
and reinstall nodejs with the following command as given below
Installed Nodejs version-12.22.9 Successfully on my Ubuntu 22.04
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
Press Y when prompted to confirm installation. If you are prompted to restart any services, press ENTER to accept the defaults and continue. Check that the install was successful by querying node for its version number:
node -v
Output
v 12.22.9
Try this:
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ nvm list-remote
$ nvm install v16.14.0
$ nvm install lts/fermium
$ node -v
These steps will install nodejs v14.19.0.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
but still on trying again it says the same thing.
Please note that the setup is new and there was nothing installed previously

If I try to do this -

Package node is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'node' has no installation candidate
Hey I use Ubuntu 16 the latest LTS
What you can do, is install ubuntu-make
Then run
umake nodejs
It installs the latest version available (v8.2.1)
Or, you can also use nvm
The detailed instructions are here
Note If you use ubuntu-make , you may have to log out and log in
Then check your version via node -v
Once you have version 4, you can update it to the latest. See this topic Upgrading Node.js to latest version
I was using node v0.10.x on my centOS server and I want to update node.js, so followed some articles. First removing currently installed:
# which node
# cd /usr
# rm -r bin/node bin/node-waf include/node lib/node lib/pkgconfig/nodejs.pc share/man/man1/node.1
and then check node -v is not working, good. But using yum doesn't install latest Node.js, so I searched some post and found this:
https://www.metachris.com/2015/10/how-to-install-nodejs-5-on-centos-and-ubuntu/
so I followed commands:
# rpm -Uvh https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/el/7/x86_64/nodesource-release-el7-1.noarch.rpm
# yum install nodejs -y
and this is the problem. it prints numerous errors and keeps failing.

Also before remove node, I also did this:
# npm cache clean -f
# npm install -g n
# n stable
but this isn't working at all, because always saying version 0.10.x, even downloaded latest one! ( I sawed 6.2.2 or something )
I think something messed up on my server and I don't know how to fix this. Can anyone gimme some advice? Also If can, I want to install latest Node.js.
Install Node from the EPEL Repository
yum update
yum install epel-release
yum install nodejs
node --version
To access npm to manage their Node packages.
yum install npm
The easiest way is to use nvm, the "Node Version Manager".
In a shell, do:
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
Note: If you want to understand the script before running it, read the docs on nvm github page and/or remove | bash from the curl command to read without running the .sh file
Close and re-open shell to use updated profile. Then:
//prints "nvm" if correctly installed
$ command -v nvm
// install latest version of node
$ nvm install node
//check it's installed correctly
$ node -v
v12.6.0
After failing with other methods, this one had no issues.
First, you must install epe-release
sudo yum install epel-release
After, you can install node.js and npm
sudo yum -y install nodejs npm
Its worked for me.
I spent a while on this on a Fedora 35 workstation (upgraded from Fedora 34),
$ yum repolist
nodesource Node.js Packages for Fedora Linux 34 - x86_64
it gave me
$ node --version v12.22.1
None up the installers made a difference until I found this explanation:
How To Install Node.js on Fedora 36/35/34
The tutorial includes 3 methods. It's the third one that worked for me.
Install Node.js on Fedora via NVM
First, install the NVM tool on your system by running the following command:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
Then, reload the system environment using this command. It will set the required environment variables to use nvm on the system.
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ nvm install v16.14
Downloading and installing node v16.14.2...
$ node --version
v16.14.2
