I am using ROS melodic for my current project but I need to install nodejs for my college work in ubuntu 18.04. When I install nodejs by using the following commands
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
it gives me an error like this.
error
So I installed that dependency but after installing that dependency my ros packages removed. How can I install the npm without losing the ROS melodic?
Thanks in advance !!
I found something on the internet that take me to the solution,
I installed python virtual environment
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-create-python-virtual-environments-on-ubuntu-18-04/
in that virtual environment I installed nodeenv with the help of pip
https://pypi.org/project/nodeenv/#id73
I created node.js virtual environment in which I installed the NPM without getting any error.
And we can also install nodeenv with the global environment too!
I faced the same problem and solutions were deleting whole ros melodic.
found the solution as follows:
$ sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm
after this command if you installed nodejs it's going to be deleted.
enable the NodeSource repository by running the following curl command:
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
then:
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
the nodejs package contains both the node and npm binaries.
I was having nodejs version 4.2.6 in my ubuntu 16.04 pc.
I tried to install n using command sudo npm install -g n, and the following errors came out.
Node.js 4 is supported but the specific version you're running has
a bug known to break npm. Please update to at least 4.7.0 to use this
version of npm. You can find the latest release of Node.js at https://nodejs.org/
I uninstalled the current nodejs and then reinstalled it .But everytime the version 4.2.6 is installed.I am not getting why the latest version is not installed.I followed this link to reinstall my nodejs

Do i need any others updated to have latest nodejs ?Please guide me
Here are the steps to follow:
First clear cache.
Then upgrade npm
Then install stable version if Node
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
If that still didt work
Remove NodeJs and Npm
Install Node
sudo apt remove nodejs npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
You can install latest version of nodejs by adding local apt repo as mention in official doc,
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
and then use n or nvm module to manage version.
Update: You should uninstall older version before installing newer version
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
sudo apt-get autoremove
you can use nvm and install severall version of node and switch on node version

use NVM to manage all node versions
I am trying to install the latest version of nodejs on my laptop using npm. But everytime I try to install, I get this message:
npm is known not to run on Node.js v4.2.6
Node.js 4 is supported but the specific version you're running has
a bug known to break npm. Please update to at least 4.7.0 to use this
version of npm. You can find the latest release of Node.js at https://nodejs.org/
I have tried all the methods of installing or upgrading nodejs and npm but I get this message everytime. Also, when I run nodejs -v, it shows v4.2.6.
What can I do to install nodejs properly so that I can use it?
Read the error carefully. Node.js 4 is supported but the specific version you're running has a bug known to break npm.
You have a nodejs version installed which doesn't let npm run. So you can't use npm to update nodejs. Instead, you can follow nodejs installation guide "Debian and Ubuntu based Linux distributions" from the link https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
for Node.js 6:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Alternatively, for Node.js 8:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
I want to install the latest node (v6.2.0 at the time of writing) on Ubuntu. But as I do
sudo apt-get nodejs
This installed v0.10.37.
Can you please help me in installing the latest version of node js and also npm latest version?
This is very simple,
Grab the Linux node distribution from here:
https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.2.0/
Open Terminal and type below command:
sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf ~/Downloads/node-v6.2.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
ls -l /usr/local/bin/node
That`s it.
Now check your node version by typing:
node -v
npm -v
One can install any version of node in Ubuntu using above steps.
There is official instruction:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Follow https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x to read shell script before execute above commands.
You always must to know what you run, especially by sudo.
Any version of node install is very easy
Just click Node.js scroll down and go Installation instructions and chose which version you want to install
To Install 12.x version of node:
Open your terminal [Ctrl+Alt+t]
execute below command
Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
or
Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
To remove previous version use command
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
and then for latest version
sudo n latest
Or for stable version
sudo n stable
By far the most convenient way to install and manage node versions on your machine is the Node Version Manager a.k.a nvm. Just follow the installation instructions in the repo and after you have it installed run
nvm install 6.2.0
I would suggest installing through package manager to make sure it installs with accurate dependencies.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Also, use NPM
sudo apt-get install npm
to install modules, like so:
npm install express
Install the package through the official download page, in a .deb format. Go ahead and grab the newest version here:
https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/
Just go ahead and download your desired version and double-click on the downloaded .deb file, and you're good to go. npm comes with nodejs, btw.

If you wish to completely reinstall nodejs, check out the script located here:

and check out this:
How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
It says Mac OSX, but it'll work perfectly fine in ubuntu, too.
depends on what version of latest nodejs you want to install
if LTS version or current latest version, then from PPA
latest LTS version
apt-get install curl python-software-properties
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get install nodejs
current latest version
apt-get install curl python-software-properties
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get install nodejs

Install the snap package
The easiest method to install Node.js on Ubuntu is to use the snap package. Just search for node on Ubuntu Software store and install the first one.
Or if you prefer command line:
sudo snap install node --classic
Alternate method: NVM
If you can't use snaps for some reason, like from a WSL environment, then Node Version Manager (NVM) is the way to go. It's safer than upgrading the node packages in Ubuntu to unsupported versions from PPAs or 3rd party repos, which may cause conflicts or breakages in apt package management system. Compared to NVM, manual installations from tarballs are harder to maintain and upgrade. Follow these steps to install the latest node using NVM:
Step 1: Install NVM
Run this command in Terminal:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
Step 2: Install node
Once NVM installation is complete, close and reopen Terminal. Then run this command:
nvm install node
Step 3: Check node version
Run these commands:
node --version
npm --version
If everything went well, you'll see the latest node and npm versions as output. That's all, node is installed and ready to run! 😊
Note: This question is similar to the AskUbuntu question "How do I install the latest version of node.js?" and my answer equally applies. I'm reproducing my answer here to ensure a full complete answer exists rather than just a link.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -y nano git curl vim htop gnupg2 && curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Install NodeJS 14x and npm 7x in Ubuntu 2020 LTS
Install Nodesource: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
Install NodeJS: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Install latest npm: npm install -g npm#latest
For certain npm packages to run: sudo apt install build-essential
The easiest way is using a single line command is sudo snap install node --classic
It installs the latest stable node version from snap store.
Hi i'm working with ionic to build hybrid html app.
Every command i'm running i get the following warning:
******************************************************
Upgrade warning - for the CLI to run correctly,
it is highly suggested to upgrade the following:
Please update your Node runtime to version >=0.12.x
******************************************************
If you can please advise how should i update the node runtime version
This is just asking to upgrade your Node. I normally use nvm with command nvm install <version> && nvm use <version> or you can use node helper as follows:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable // for stable version
sudo n 0.12.7 // for specific version like v0.12.7
// check the node version after install
node -v
To install Node.js v5.x on either Ubuntu or Debian:
# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
It depends on how you have installed node.js to your computer. You can either go to https://nodejs.org/ and get the updated version, or you can use Node Version Manager (NVM) which allows you to control multiple node versions at once.
I would recommend using NVM, as this avoids having to install nodejs with sudo, which can lead to other problems down the line.
I use command:
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g ionic
and it works for me.
