Install Node.js and npm from the NodeSource repository
We will install Node.js v6 LTS and npm from the NodeSource repository which depends on the EPEL repository being available.
To enable the EPEL repository on your CentOS 7 VPS, issue the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Once the EPEL repository is enabled run the following command to add the Node.js v6 LTS repository:
curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
Once the NodeSource repository is enabled we can proceed with the Node.js v6 LTS and npm installation:
sudo yum install nodejs
If it doesn't work, try to uninstall NodeJs and repeat all actions.
sudo rm -rf /var/cache/yum
sudo yum remove -y nodejs
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource*
sudo yum clean all
As mentioned in the comments, it seems odd to me to install npm as an individual package. Normally, npm comes bundled with Node.
To that end, I would remove any Node versions you have on the PC, then use a version manager to install the desired version of Node (and by default npm).
The version manager I have had the best experience with is nvm. You can find it here.
The TL;DR for installing nvm is:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
But I would encourage you to look at the project on GitHub and read its README. There is also a good tutorial on how to use it here.
Once you have nvm up and running, you can install Node thus:
nvm install node # "node" is an alias for the latest version
Or to install a specific version of node:
nvm install 6.14.4 # or 10.10.0, 8.9.1, etc
And then when you run npm, the command should be available in your $PATH.
Update yum
yum update -y
In redhat base OS (tested in centos 7)
yum install nodejs npm -y

I am trying to install NodeJS 6.9.5 version at my RHEL server but it is not working.
I ran below command successfully
curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
But yum install -y nodejs:6.9.5 command is failing with below error. Could someone guide me?
yum install -y nodejs:6.9.5
Loaded plugins: ovl, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.
No package nodejs:6.9.5 available.
Error: Nothing to do
Use nvm to install specific version of node.js.
To install node 6.9.5 in your machine,
Install nvm curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
First source your .bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile
Now install your desired version nvm install v6.9.5
You can go through this article, for details, especially Install Node Using the Node Version Manager section.
I was recently going through the version of node in my ubuntu 16.04 when node -v command was used it shows me version 6.9.1 but when nodejs -v it shows 6.9.2 previously before using this commands npm update command was used.
Now what's these difference in node -v and nodejs -v? and how to update to the latest LTS version of node/nodejs?
To update, you can install n
sudo npm install -g n
Then just :
sudo n latest
or a specific version
sudo n 8.9.0
According to official docs to install node on Debian and Ubuntu based distributions:
node v12 (Old)
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node v14 (For new users: install this one):
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node v15 (Current version):
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Other older versions:
Just replace the desired version number in the link above.
Optional: install build tools
To compile and install native packages
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
To update node to the latest version just:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
To keep npm updated
sudo npm i -g npm
To find out other versions try npm info npm and in versions find your desired version and replace [version-tag] with that version tag in npm i -g npm#[version-tag]
And I also recommend trying yarn instead of npm
Using Node Version Manager (NVM):
Install it:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
Test your installation:
close your current terminal, open a new terminal, and run:
command -v nvm
Use it to install as many versions as u like:
nvm install 8 # Install nodejs 8
nvm install --lts # Install latest LTS (Long Term Support) version
List installed versions:
nvm ls
Use a specific version:
nvm use 8 # Use this version on this shell
Set defaults:
nvm alias default 8 # Default to nodejs 8 on this shell
nvm alias default node # always use latest available as default nodejs for all shells
Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use
sudo n latest
Undo :
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy # fix /usr/bin/node
sudo n rm 6.0.0 # replace number with version of Node that was installed
sudo npm uninstall -g n
Use sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade nodejs to upgrade node (and only upgrade node) using the package manager.
The package name is nodejs, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/18130296/4578017 for details.
You can also use nvm to install and update node.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash
Then restart the terminal, use nvm ls-remote to get latest version list of node, and use nvm install lts/* to install latest LTS version.
nvm is more recommended way to install or update node, even if you are not going to switch versions.
Difference: When I first installed node, it installed as 'nodejs'. When I upgraded it, it created 'node'. By executing node, we are actually executing nodejs. Node is just a reference to nodejs.
From my experience, when I upgraded, it affected both the versions (as it is supposed to). When I do nodejs -v or node -v, I get the new version.
Upgrading: npm update is used to update the packages in the current directory. Check https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/update
To upgrade node version, based on the OS you are using, follow the commands here https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
Please refer nodejs official site for installation instructions at the following link
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
Anyway, please find the commands to install nodejs version 10 in ubuntu below.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install npm#latest -g
Try this:
Edit or create the file :nodesource.list
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
Insert this text:
deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x bionic main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x bionic main
Run these commands:
curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x cosmic main /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
node and nodejs are two different packages in Ubuntu software, node is an up-to-date snap package, whereas nodejs is an older version of apt package
to update to the latest LTS version of node:
Install NVM on Ubuntu 22.04|20.04|18.04 with the command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh
bash install.sh
After the installation, source the profile:
source ~/.bashrc
Verify the NVM installation:
nvm -v
Install Node.js 18 LTS on Ubuntu 22.04|20.04|18.04 as shown:
nvm install v18
Install the latest version using the command:
nvm install node
Once complete, verify the installation:
node -v
Run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile
nvm ls-remote
nvm install v9.10.1
nvm use v9.10.1
node -v
Update latest version Nodejs :
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
I am using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS and got the issue during upgrade node js. The current LTS version is 16.14.2 According to the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions document
Node.js v16.x:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
if you still get the issue you can also try the following:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get update
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Node.js Current:
It's work for me..
Using Ubuntu
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_current.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Using Debian, as root
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_current.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
I am also facing problem while going to install react app, so i found the solution,
npx create-react-app shodkk
First install the npm latest version using
sudo npm install -g npm#8.4.1
So to install the node 16.x you need to go terminal and type
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
Doing this you install the node LTS that is 16.14.o at the time of writing this post.
Try this 2-3 times, also do the
sudo apt-get update
Then Now install the package using
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
At last this helps you remove any unwanted package, that remains after updating that is depreciated and need not be there, So use autoremove command.
sudo apt autoremove
So if like the post, Upvote and motivate me to write more, thanks, givingBack to the Community.
Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use
sudo n latest
To undo:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy # fix /usr/bin/node
sudo n rm 6.0.0 # replace number with version of Node that was installed
sudo npm uninstall -g n
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
I have executed the following command in Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs modejs-legacy npm
I have the versions
npm -v
1.3.10
nodejs -v
v0.10.25
These are older than the recommended versions for AngularJS 2.
Why does apt-get download old version?
How do I update to newer versions?
Debian/Ubuntu has old version in their package manager, you have to use custom PPA repository as stated here:
https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#debinstall
Setup it with:
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
Then install with Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs
To get the latest version the easiest thing to do is install nvm. nvm install instructions
install nvm curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install v10.15.3
(optional) set default nvm alias default v10.15.3
I'm trying install Node.js on Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), but the terminal shows me an error about lost packages. I tried with this:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
But when I came to the last line sudo apt-get install nodejs npm shows this error:
Failed to install some packages. This may mean that
you requested an impossible situation or if you are using the distribution
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been
been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nodejs: Conflicts: npm
E: Failed to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then I uninstalled the ppa:chris-lea/node.js and I was trying a second option:
sudo apt-get install node.js
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
The same error, the terminal says npm is the latest version, but it also shows me the text I shown in the top. I think the problem is ppa:chris-lea/node.js, but I don't know how solve it.
Simply follow the instructions given here:
Example install:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
It installs current stable Node on the current stable Ubuntu. Quantal
(12.10) users may need to install the software-properties-common
package for the add-apt-repository command to work: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
As of Node.js v0.10.0, the nodejs package from Chris Lea's repo
includes both npm and nodejs-dev.
Don't give sudo apt-get install nodejs npm. Just sudo apt-get install nodejs.
As of today, you can simply install it with:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
npm is automatically installed with Node.js in the latest version of Node.js. What do you see when you type node --version and npm --version in the terminal?
You can upgrade npm using npm itself as well:
[sudo] npm install -g npm
My apt-get was old and busted, so I had to install from source. Here is what worked for me:
# Get the latest version from nodejs.org. At the time of this writing, it was 0.10.24
curl -o ~/node.tar.gz http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.24/node-v0.10.24.tar.gz
cd
tar -zxvf node.tar.gz
cd node-v0.6.18
./configure && make && sudo make install
These steps were mostly taken from joyent's installation wiki.
This is the best way to easyly install Node.js. This also is actual for Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail), and Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
Adding Node.js repositories
[sudo] apt-get install python-software-properties
[sudo] apt-add-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
[sudo] apt-get update
Node.js installation
[sudo] apt-get install nodejs
Now checking Node.js version
node -v
Outputs
v0.10.20
This command should install npm
npm install
Check npm version
npm -v
Outputs
1.4.3
If for some reason, if you see npm is not installed, you may try running:
[sudo] apt-get install npm
To update npm you may try running:
[sudo] npm install -g npm
Now you can simply install with:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Make sure you have the Python and C interpreters/compilers preinstalled. If not, perform:
sudo apt-get install python g++ make
You can use nvm to install Node.js. It allows you work with different versions without conflicts.
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.19.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install v0.10.33
Just use nvm for Node.js version control - nvm.
Just follow the official instructions from here to install on Ubuntu

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
Node.js is available as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. Specific to Node.js, developers can choose from one or more of the currently supported releases and get regular automatic updates directly from NodeSource. Node.js versions 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 are currently available, with the Snap Store being updated within hours or minutes of a Node.js release.
Node.js can be installed with a single command, for example:
sudo snap install node --classic --channel 11/stable
The node snap can be accessed by the command node, for example:
$ node -v
v11.5.0
An up-to-date version of npm will installed as part of the node snap. npm should be run outside of the node repl, in your normal shell. After installing the node snap run the following command to enable npm update checking:
sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/<b>your-username</b>/.config
Replace your-username in the above command with your own username. Then run npm -v to check if the version of npm is up-to-date. As an example I checked that npm was up-to-date, checked the version of an already installed package named yarn with the command npm list yarn and then updated the existing yarn package to the latest version with the command npm update yarn
Users can switch between versions of Node.js at any time without needing to involve additional tools like nvm (Node Version Manager), for example:
sudo snap refresh node --channel=11/stable
Users can test bleeding-edge versions of Node.js that can be installed from the latest edge channel by switching with:
sudo snap switch node --edge
This approach is only recommended for those users who are willing to participate in testing and bug reporting upstream.

If you want to install particular version then download the version you want from the Node.js site and execute the last tree steps.
I would strongly suggest not using the default Node.js package from the distribution market, because it would be probably outdated (i.e., the current for the time of writing this in the Ubuntu market is v0.10.25 which is too outdated compared to the latest (v0.12.0)).
Here is the full description to create the first program using the express generator,
Ubuntu's package manager
To install Node.js and npm via apt-get, run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
sudo apt-get install npm
Express application generator:
$ npm install express-generator -g
Display the command options with the -h option:
$ express -h
Usage: express [options] [dir]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-e, --ejs add ejs engine support (defaults to jade)
--hbs add handlebars engine support
-H, --hogan add hogan.js engine support
-c, --css <engine> add stylesheet <engine> support (less|stylus|compass|sass) (defaults to plain css)
--git add .gitignore
-f, --force force on non-empty directory
For example, the following creates an Express application named myapp in the current working directory:
$ express myapp
create : myapp
create : myapp/package.json
create : myapp/app.js
create : myapp/public
create : myapp/public/javascripts
create : myapp/public/images
create : myapp/routes
create : myapp/routes/index.js
create : myapp/routes/users.js
create : myapp/public/stylesheets
create : myapp/public/stylesheets/style.css
create : myapp/views
create : myapp/views/index.jade
create : myapp/views/layout.jade
create : myapp/views/error.jade
create : myapp/bin
create : myapp/bin/www
Then install dependencies:
$ cd myapp
$ npm install
Run the app with this command:
$ DEBUG=myapp:* npm start
Then load http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to access the application.
The generated application has the following directory structure:
├── app.js
├── bin
│ └── www
├── package.json
├── public
│ ├── images
│ ├── javascripts
│ └── stylesheets
│ └── style.css
├── routes
│ ├── index.js
│ └── users.js
└── views
├── error.jade
├── index.jade
└── layout.jade

Really simple:
sudo apt install nodejs
And then type:
nodejs
to use it.
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Install Node.js on Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) or Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus).
Please avoid installing Node.js with apt-get on Ubuntu. If you already installed Node.js with the built-in package manager, please remove that. (sudo apt-get purge nodejs && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean)
The installation process on Linux is the same as on OS X.
With the provided script:
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.3/install.sh | bash
$ nvm list
$ nvm ls-remote
$ nvm install 6.4.0
$ nvm use 6.4.0
$ nvm alias default 6.4.0
$ node -v
$ npm install -g npm
$ npm -v
Other issues while installing Node JS
Do not use sudo apt-get install nodejs npm. Always use sudo apt-get install nodejs
And If you get the error sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found just run this command prior to the second one above: sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
If sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found and needed to run sudo apt-get install python-software-properties before adding the repository
try to use a bash -r if you had an old version before or node / npm does not appear in your console
The linked instructions have been updated to curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Edit Updated
For the latest version you can also use the URL
nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz
One more thing! Don’t forget to run the following command, which increases the amount of inotify watches.
$ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

You just have to clone the repo and run setup.sh and you'll have the latest node version installed. If you want a specific version just run change-version.sh.
I've read the answers above and I tried, worked fine but sometimes you will face little problem while using that answers. What if you install the nodejs from Ubuntu store, I have tried and vallah, job done.
First you have to uninstall what old garbage you have install by
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
I was also trying to install node via apt but failing, or giving me the version 10.x.x which was outdated. I then randomly went to ubuntu store and installed the latest one, check it node --version
You can do it with just simple and easy commands
sudo apt-get update
Install Req. Files
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
Install Nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs
Check if is it installed properly.
node --version
For the latest Node.js
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_13.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
node -v
npm -v
The Node.js package is available in the LTS release and the current release. It’s your choice to select which version you want to install on the system as per your requirements.
