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

As you can see in the image below, I see two different versions of node depending on which command I run.
I need the newer version, but npm sees the old version.
Many times I've removed, purged, reinstalled, etc.
I tried installing nvm as root and setting the node version there, but that didn't help either.
If I use apt install nodejs instead of nvm, it tells me that I already have the newest version, which it believes is 12.22.9.
How do I get npm to recognize the newer version (18.12.1) of node that I installed via nvm?
It is because you have a different version of the Node.js which is installed for the root and that particular user.
First, you need to uninstall Node.js:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
or
sudo npm rm npm -g
If you have any problem with the above commands, then after running which node command, go to that directory, and run the following commands:
rm -r bin/node bin/node-waf include/node lib/node lib/pkgconfig/nodejs.pc share/man/man1/node.1
Do the same thing for the current user if needed.
The default Ubuntu/Debian package manager does not have the latest Node.js, and that's why whenever you try to install Node.js with apt install nodejs it says you have the latest version.
According to the official Node.js documentation, for installing the latest version, you should follow these steps:
Using Ubuntu
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_19.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
P.S: No need to run npm or node with sudo. Therefore, I highly recommend you to not use every command with sudo.
So i am trying to install Nodejs v10 and npm but when i run the command
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash -
and
apt-get install -y nodejs
It would install Nodejs v4.2.6 and i don't understand why and it dosent even install npm with it i need to install it separately
maybe you guys can help me
you need install node with nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) follow this intruttions for install the version of you want

Install Node.js from the NodeSource repository
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
The command above :
Adds the NodeSource signing key to your system.
Creates an apt sources repository file.
Installs all necessary packages.
Refreshes the apt cache.
Then you can do : sudo apt install nodejs
At the time of writing this 12.4.2 is the current latest Node.js version.
You can install version 10.16.0 by changing setup_12.x to setup_10.x in the first command.
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

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
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.
