I installed nodejs using sudo apt-get, which appeared to continue perfectly.
If I now run sudo apt-get install nodejs it'll tell me:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
nodejs is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 113 not upgraded.
Yet, when I try to test node using node -v or node hello.js there is no reply. No error nothing.
How can I get it running?
Remove current nodejs package
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
and run the following command (node version 10)
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
then check again
node -v

To install the desired version of nodejs you can use the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions.

I'm running Ubuntu 18 on my VPS server, and I'm trying to run NodeJS, however, this happens:
seth#vps186104:~$ nodejs -v

sudo apt install nodejs
seth#vps186104:~$ sudo apt install nodejs

seth#vps186104:~$
It says to install the package to run nodejs, however, trying to install nodejs it says it's already installed
What is going on?
Try running:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Or if you want node 10.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
I have come across ReactJS and React Native. ReactJS is brilliant, super fast and works fine on Node v0.10. But, React Native needs v4.x as a prerequisite.
So, when I run any react-native command, it fails and says Node 4 is required.
I have tried several times and many ways to update Node, but, have failed.
First followed Installation Instructions -
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
I ended up with the following message-
root#purvotara:/# apt-get install -y nodejs

nodejs is already the newest version.

Then, there was Manual Installation way of installing.
add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js
rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list
curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/trusty/Release main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/trusty/Release main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
apt-get update
apt-get install nodejs
Still, ended up with -
nodejs is already the newest version.
I tried to purge and auto-remove my current v0.10 node and tried to freshly install, not sure if its still picking the install from the cache, but, v0.10 got installed.
Also followed linoxide article on the same. A .configure and make install didn't seem to work as well.
What am I doing wrong? I am stuck for hours.
Went over several other links to resolve other issues(they are resolved now)-
Uninstalling node
Failed to fetch Trusty
Use n. npm install -g n
then you can switch to any version of node using a command like this n v4.1.2
https://www.npmjs.com/package/n
n uses /usr/local/bin/node for n to work properly on debian based systems, create a symlink to point to this directory.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
#Holger This was the result of using 'n'.
I have added this as an answer, as I want to bring more clarity in the code and solution itself.
Still facing the same problem.
I installed 4.2.1, but, v0.10 is being shown.
root#purvotara:/# n 4.2.1
install : node-v4.2.1
mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/4.2.1
fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.1/node-v4.2.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
installed : v4.2.1
root#purvotara:/# n
root#purvotara:/# node -v
v0.10.25
I used NVM and the issue is solved.
