Which linux version supports node js on windows 7 - node.js

I am a windows 7 user and want to download npm and nodejs.
I have tried to install node js on windows 7 but it is not supported.
So, is there any linux version that can be downloaded on windows 7 and supports npm and nodejs ?
Or if anyone can tell any other way to download npm and nodejs on my pc.
And, I cannot upgrade my operating system.

I think you are a bit confused, Linux cannot be installed on Windows (there's the subsystem on Windows 10, but that's different), as Linux is a kernel that is usually paired with the GNU operating system, in practice, this means Linux is used as an operating system, and cannot be installed on Windows.
Installing Linux on your computer would mean deleting Windows.
What you can do, if you can't uninstall Windows, is create a virtual machine running Debian (a popular Linux distribution) using VirtualBox, you'd need to get a Debian ISO and create a virtual machine with it.
Once you install it, you can run sudo apt install npm nodejs inside a terminal to install Node.js and npm.
You don't have to use Debian, I suggested it because I personally like it for servers, but you can use Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro or any other distribution.
EDIT:
I did some further reading and found this tutorial, in which is shown how to install Node.js on Windows 7, by installing the LTS release 13.14.0.

run visual studio code in linux

I just use 'code' in ubuntu.

sudo apt install ./code_1.74.2-1671533413_amd64.deb
then update package
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install code # or code-insiders
then i have problem like this.
/mnt/c/Users/jhyun/Desktop$ code
To use Visual Studio Code with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Visual Studio Code in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use the code command in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.
Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]
how can i solve this?
You have two options when running VSCode under WSL:
Run the Linux version, as you are doing currently.
The Linux version should run fine, but is limited to compiling, running, and debugging Linux applications. It will not be able to use the Windows versions of any of your development tools. This may or may not be a problem for you. If you only plan to use Linux toolchains from WSL, then the Linux version of VSCode will handle those just fine.
Run the Windows version and install the WSL Extension or the Remote Development Extension Pack (which includes the WSL Extension).
This has the advantage of being able to use Linux tools (through a "shim server" that is automatically installed in WSL when you launch code) or native Windows tools.
As a native Windows application, it should also be a bit better integrated with the Windows desktop.
There are just very few reasons (and I can't think of any of them at the moment) why you would want to use the Linux version in this case.

It's best practice to use nvm or the node form the package manager?

I use nodejs which I install using nvm on Debian distro before however I recently change my distro for fedora to do development work, now I know that fedora is a fast moving distro, so it come with very recent version of software and in my case recent node version.I was wondering, what do you use to install node the package manager dnf or the nvm ? Thank you.
Using nvm instead of the package manager of any Linux distribution adds compatibility between different Linux distributions and even MacOS and Windows. In general, it is best to use nvm.

How do I know which Ubuntu package to install?

I am using an application on Linux, Ubuntu that originally was on Windows. I am missing opengl header files that I had access to with the Windows 10 SDK.
I want to install opengl on my Ubuntu machine. I did a search for it under Ubuntu packages here.

Ubuntu - Your system has UEFI Secure Boot enable (while trying to upgrade my Nodejs version)

I've been trying to upgrade my nodejs version cause when I ran the command to install it, automatically installed v4.2.6 and i've been playing around to try to fix this and the output is always the same: UEFI secure boot is enabled, and apparently is something about the dpkg.

How to install node.js, nvm, npm on QNAP (NAS)

in QNAP APP center has node.js 4.x and 0.8.X version
However, these two versions are too old, I hope we can install a newer version.
I try to login linux system installed through the command
https://www.ostechnix.com/install-node-js-linux/
nas seems to have removed some of the command, I checked it is Ubuntu but no apt-get, I can not install node.js through these comman
cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.4.6 (root#BuildServer36) (gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)) #1 SMP Thu Oct 26 11:01:49 CST 2017
like this
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
-sh: sudo: command not found
apt-get install nodejs npm
apt-get: command not found
I have not tried to install the mongodb should have a similar problem
My nas model is TS-439 Pro ii
Or just go to qnapclub.eu a repository of “unofficial apps” - download it and install through the GUI in app center...
You have to select accept third party apps and you should be good to go..
I was straggling with the same issue on mine QNAP.
I found this tutorial: https://techblog.dorogin.com/running-nodejs-app-on-qnap-nas-via-pm2-3bdb838524e4 written by Sergei Dorogin.
Highly recommend you to install pm2 which is production manager for node.js
https://github.com/Unitech/pm2
It took me around 3hours to set up everything, because I'm not good with Linux
I haven't played with this yet, but it seems like using Container Station to install an official Node.js Docker image is the way to go. This gives you a complete preconfigured Linux environment to run Node in.
