Trying to install NVM on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. When I run the install script this happens:
ole#ole-ThinkPad-T470:~/Temp/nv$ wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
=> Downloading nvm as script to '/home/ole/.nvm'

[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" # This loads nvm bash_completion
But if I wget one of the scripts that fails to download it works:

Thoughts?
It looks like it's related to installing wget or curl with snap on Ubuntu:
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/2504
Here's what fixed it for me:
sudo snap remove curl
sudo apt install curl
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
uninstalling snap curl and installing apt install resolved this for me as well,
sudo snap remove curl
sudo apt install curl
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install node
I am pursuing a course which asked me to install Nodejs and npm using below commands. But I am not able to understand the very first command, what exactly it is doing and how to write it on the terminal.
$ sudo bash -c "cat >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list" <
deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x xenial main
EOL
$ curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs
I checked the Nodejs site and they are just recommending below command to install Nodejs
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Please guide me what should I do, I have to install Nodejs v6.9 and npm version 3.x
I would recommend to you to install required Node version via NVM. NVM is tool that helps you to change Node version on your machine. So you can use any Node version you want, even 6.9.
In order to install NVM you have to run this command:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.9/install.sh | bash
You can verify NVM installation with this command:
command -v nvm
After that you can install required version of Node:
nvm install v6.9
If you install multiple version of Node, you can switch from one version to another:
nvm use v6.9
You can install a specific version of NodeJS using NVM:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.9/install.sh | bash
Now close the terminal and open it again and type:
command -v nvm
If the terminal outputs nvm you're good to go.
Next you can install the version you want:
nvm install 6.9.0
nvm use 6.9.0
And if everything is ok, it should output you this:
Now using node v6.9.0 (npm v3.10.8)
I would like to install exactly Node4.2.6 version of Node. I am running ubuntu 16.04 and by sudo apt-get install nodejs I get later versions.
I also dont want to follow the following method because this is not recommended and can lead to errors in the future:
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.6/node-v4.2.6.tar.gz -P /tmp/ && \
tar xvzf /tmp/node-v4.2.6.tar.gz && cd node-v* && \
./configure && \
make && \
make test && \
make install
I also don't want to install any version and then do
nvm install 4.2.6
nvm use 4.2.6
All the above methods are not what I am looking for. Is there another way in ubuntu16.04
Thanks
Should be pretty simple — just need to know which version of Ubuntu you're running (e.g. Trusty or Precise). For example:
curl -sO https://deb.nodesource.com/node_4.x/pool/main/n/nodejs/nodejs_4.2.6-1nodesource1~trusty1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install rlwrap // this is not included with the OS
sudo dpkg -i nodejs_4.2.6-1nodesource1~trusty1_amd64.deb
> Node -v
v4.2.6
I am user of AWS elastic beanstalk, and I have a little problem. I want to build my CSS files with less+node. But I don`t know how to install node in my dockerfile, when building with jenkins.
Here is installation packages what I am using in my docker. I will be glad for any suggestions.
FROM php:5.6-apache
# Install PHP5 and modules along with composer binary
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get -y install \
curl \
default-jdk \
git \
libcurl4-openssl-dev \
libpq-dev \
libmcrypt-dev \
libpq5 \
npm \
node \
zlib1g-dev \
libfreetype6-dev \
libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
libpng12-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/
RUN docker-php-ext-install curl json mbstring opcache pdo_mysql zip gd exif sockets mcrypt
# Install pecl
RUN pecl install -o -f memcache-beta \
&& rm -rf /tmp/pear \
&& echo 'extension=memcache.so' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/memcache.ini
After this I am runing my entrypoint.sh with code
#!/usr/bin/env sh
composer run-script post-install-cmd --no-interaction
chmod 0777 -R /var/app/app/cache
chmod 0777 -R /var/app/app/logs
exec apache2-foreground
But then I`ve got this error
Error Output: [2016-04-04 11:23:44] assetic.ERROR: The template ":tmp:module.html.twig" contains an error: A template that extends another one cannot have a body in ":tmp:module.ht
ml.twig" at line 7.
But when I install inside the Docker container node this way
apt-get install git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
cd node
./configure
make
sudo make install
node -v
I can build my CSS. So question is..how this installation above make install inside my Dockerfile when I am building it with Jenkins?
I think this works slightly better.
ENV NODE_VERSION=16.13.0
RUN apt install -y curl
RUN curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
ENV NVM_DIR=/root/.nvm
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm install ${NODE_VERSION}
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm use v${NODE_VERSION}
RUN . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" && nvm alias default v${NODE_VERSION}
ENV PATH="/root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/:${PATH}"
RUN node --version
RUN npm --version
Note that nvm is a version manager for node.js, designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. nvm works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, macOS, and windows WSL.
Running apt-get install node does not install Node.js, because that's not the package you're asking for.
If you run apt-cache info node you can see that what you are installing is a "Amateur Packet Radio Node program (transitional package)"
You should follow the Node.js install instructions to install via package manager.
Or if you like building from git, you can just do that inside Docker:
RUN apt-get install -y git-core curl build-essential openssl libssl-dev \
&& git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git \
&& cd node \
&& ./configure \
&& make \
&& sudo make install
According to the following answer, I would suggest using npm via the n package, that lets you choose the nodejs version, or use the latest tag or the lts tag. For example for latest:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
software-properties-common \
npm
RUN npm install npm#latest -g && \
npm install n -g && \
n latest
Just 2 lines
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
Get the node image and put it at the top of your dockerfile:
FROM node:[tag_name] AS [alias_name]
Verify the version by adding following code:
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --version
Then add the following code every time you need to use nodejs in a container:
COPY --from=[alias_name] . .
From the codes above, replace the following with:
[tag_name] - the tag value of the node image you want to use. Visit https://hub.docker.com/_/node?tab=tags for the list of available tags.
[alias_name] - your preferred image name to use in your dockerfile.
Example:
FROM node:latest AS node_base
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --version
FROM php:5.6-apache
COPY --from=node_base . .

I am using following Dockerfile to setup node version 8.10.0.
Here I have used NVM (Node Version Manager ), so we can choose which node version should be installed on that container. Please use absolute path of npm when installing node modules (eg: /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm install leasot#latest -g)
FROM ubuntu:18.04
ENV NODE_VERSION=8.10.0

RUN cp /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm /usr/bin/
RUN /root/.nvm/versions/node/v${NODE_VERSION}/bin/npm install leasot#latest -g
Note: This is a cropped Dockerfile.
The short answer, for example, install v14.17.1
ENV PATH="/opt/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64/bin:${PATH}"
RUN curl https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.17.1/node-v14.17.1-linux-x64.tar.gz |tar xzf - -C /opt/
list of all available versions can be found here -> https://nodejs.org/dist/
Directly into /usr/local so it's already in your $PATH
ARG NODE_VERSION=8.10.0
RUN curl https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-x64.tar.gz | tar -xz -C /usr/local --strip-components 1
The accepted answer gives the link to the installation instructions for all systems, but it won't run out of the box since you often (e.g. for ubuntu) don't have all required dependencies installed (namely curl and sudo).
So here's for example how you'd do it for ubuntu:
FROM ubuntu
# Core dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl sudo
# Node
# Uncomment your target version
# RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
# RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
RUN sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN echo "NODE Version:" && node --version
RUN echo "NPM Version:" && npm --version
then build with
docker build . --progress=plain
to see the output of the echo statements. Of course you could also leave away the echo statements and run it regularly with docker build ., after you've made sure everything is working as intended.
You can also leave away the installation of sudo, but then you'll have to get rid of the sudo occurrences in the script.
FROM ubuntu:20.04
# all necessaries for next RUN
RUN set -e; \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends \
curl wget nano gnupg2 software-properties-common && \
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists;
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash -
# uncomment for checking versions

I've seen the writeup on using yum to install the dependencies, and then installing Node.JS & NPM from source. While this does work, I feel like Node.JS and NPM should both be in a public repo somewhere.
How can I install Node.JS and NPM in one command on AWS Amazon Linux?
Stumbled onto this, was strangely hard to find again later. Putting here for posterity:
sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel
EDIT 3: As of July 2016, EDIT 1 no longer works for nodejs 4 (and EDIT 2 neither). This answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/35165401/78935) gives a true one-liner.
EDIT 1: If you're looking for nodejs 4, please try the EPEL testing repo:
sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel-testing
EDIT 2: To upgrade from nodejs 0.12 installed through the EPEL repo using the command above, to nodejs 4 from the EPEL testing repo, please follow these steps:
sudo yum rm nodejs
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/node
sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel-testing
The newer packages put the node binaries in /usr/bin, instead of /usr/local/bin.
And some background:
The option --enablerepo=epel causes yum to search for the packages in the EPEL repository.
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is open source and free community based repository project from Fedora team which provides 100% high quality add-on software packages for Linux distribution including RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), CentOS, and Scientific Linux. Epel project is not a part of RHEL/Cent OS but it is designed for major Linux distributions by providing lots of open source packages like networking, sys admin, programming, monitoring and so on. Most of the epel packages are maintained by Fedora repo.

Like others, the accepted answer also gave me an outdated version.
Here is another way to do it that works very well:
$ curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -
$ yum -y install nodejs
You can also replace the 16.x with another version, such as 18.x, 14.x, etc.
You can see all available versions on the NodeSource Github page, and pull from there as well if desired.
Note: you may need to run using sudo depending on your environment.
The accepted answer gave me node 0.10.36 and npm 1.3.6 which are very out of date. I grabbed the latest linux-x64 tarball from the nodejs downloads page and it wasn't too difficult to install: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/.
# start in a directory where you like to install things for the current user
(For noobs : it downloads node package as node.tgz file in your directlry)
curl (paste the link to the one you want from the downloads page) >node.tgz
Now upzip the tar you just downloaded -
tar xzf node.tgz
Run this command and then also add it to your .bashrc:
export PATH="$PATH:(your install dir)/(node dir)/bin"
(example : export PATH ="$PATH:/home/ec2-user/mydirectory/node/node4.5.0-linux-x64/bin")
And update npm (only once, don't add to .bashrc):
npm install -g npm
Note that the -g there which means global, really means global to that npm instance which is the instance we just installed and is limited to the current user. This will apply to all packages that npm installs 'globally'.
Simple install with NVM...
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.2/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install node
To install a certain version (such as 18.12.1) of Node change the last line to
nvm install 18.12.1
For more information about how to use NVM visit the docs:
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
The procedure that worked for me (following these rather old instructions with a few updates):
check git is installed git --version or install it via:
sudo yum install git
install gcc and openssl:
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make
sudo yum install openssl-devel
clone the git repo into a directory called node (which you can remove later):
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
decide which version of node you want at https://github.com/nodejs/node/releases
go to the node directory just created and install node
cd node
git checkout v6.1.0 - put your desired version after the v
./configure
make
sudo make install
test that node is installed / working with either node --version or simply node (exit node via process.exit() or ^C x 2 or ^C + exit)
check the npm version: npm --version and update if necessary via sudo npm install -g npm
Optional: remove the node directory with rm -r node
Notes:
The accepted answer didn't work since sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel-testing returns the error: No package nodejs available.
...and sudo yum install nodejs --enablerepo=epel (ie without -testing) only gave very old versions.
If you already have an old version of node installed you can remove it with:
sudo npm uninstall npm -g ...since npm can uninstall itself
sudo yum erase nodejs
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/node
(sudo yum rm nodejs in the accepted answer won't work as rm is not a valid yum command see yum --help)
It's possible to clone the node repo via git clone git://github.com/nodejs/node.git rather than git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.gitbut you may get a various errors (see here).
If you already have a /node dir from a previous install, remove it before using the git clone command (or there'll be a conflict):
rm -r node
If you have trouble with any sudo npm... command - like sudo: npm: command not found and/or have permissions issues installing node packages without sudo, edit sudo nano /etc/sudoers and add :/usr/local/bin to the end of the line Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin so that it reads Defaults secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Seems no one is mentioning this. On Amazon Linux 2, official way to load EPEL is:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel
...then you may:
sudo yum install nodejs
See Extras Library (Amazon Linux 2)
For the v4 LTS version use:
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs
For the Node.js v6 use:
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs
I also ran into some problems when trying to install native addons on Amazon Linux. If you want to do this you should also install build tools:
yum install gcc-c++ make
I just came across this. I tried a few of the more popular answers, but in the end, what worked for me was Amazon's quick setup guide.
Tutorial: Setting Up Node.js on an Amazon EC2 Instance
The gist of the tutorial is:
Make sure you are ssh'd onto the instance.
Grab nvm: curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash
Active . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Install node using nvm nvm install 4.4.5 (NOTE: You can choose a different version. Check out the remote versions first by running $ nvm ls-remote)
Finally, test that you have installed node Node correctly by running $ node -e "console.log('Running Node.js' + process.version)"
Hopefully this helps the next person.
RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux, Amazon Linux or Fedora:
# As root
curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
# No root privileges
curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum install -y nodejs
I had Node.js 6.x installed and wanted to install Node.js 8.x.
Here's the commands I used (taken from Nodejs's site with a few extra steps to handle the yum cached data):
sudo yum remove nodejs: Uninstall Node.js 6.x (I don't know if this was necessary or not)
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum makecache: Regenerate metadata cache (this wasn't in the docs, but yum kept trying to install Node.jx 6.x, unsuccessfully, until I issued these last two commands)
sudo yum install nodejs: Install Node.js 8.x
sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel works for Amazon Linux AMI.
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
yum -y install nodejs
works for RedHat.
The easiest solution is this( do these as root)
sudo su root
cd /etc
mkdir node
yum install wget
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.0.0/node-v9.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xvf node-v9.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd node-v9.0.0-linux-x64/bin
./node -v
ln -s /etc/node-v9.0.0-linux-x64/bin/node node

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum -y install nodejs

As others mentioned using epel gives a really outdated version, here is a little script I just wrote instead to add to the CI pipeline or pass it to ec2 user-data to install the latest version of node, simply replace the version with what you want, and the appropriate distro of Linux you are using.
The following example is for amazon-Linux-2-AMI
#!/bin/bash
version='v14.13.1'
distro='linux-x64'
package_name="node-$version-$distro"
package_location="/usr/local/lib/"
curl -O https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/$package_name.tar.gz
tar -xvf $package_name.tar.gz -C $package_location
rm -rfv $package_name.tar.gz
echo "export PATH=$package_location/$package_name/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
if you want to test it in the same shell simply run
. ~/.profile
I usually use NVM to install node on server. It gives me option to install multiple version of nodejs.
Commands are given below :
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash
then check if it's installed properly using :
command -v nvm
after that, run this to install latest version :
nvm install node
or
nvm install 11
As mentioned in official documentation , simple below 2 steps -
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
You can update/install the node by reinstalling the installed package to the current version which may save us from lotta of errors, while doing the update.
This is done by nvm with the below command. Here, I have updated my node version to 8 and reinstalled all the available packages to v8 too!
nvm i v8 --reinstall-packages-from=default
It works on AWS Linux instance as well.
As stated in the Amazon docs (Setting Up Node.js on an Amazon EC2 Instance), just run the following commands:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
nvm install --lts
Done!
