I am trying following from official site with following code:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
but ended with the following error:
Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Error executing command, exiting
What would be the possible solution?
From the commands above, it is obvious you are on Debian Linux Distro,
enter the following commands on your terminal to install NodeJS:
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
=> Close and reopen your terminal, then enter the following commands on your terminal:
command -v nvm
nvm install 5.0
nvm use 5.0
nvm alias default node
The above will install version 5.0 of NodeJS on your box.
Hope this helps...

I've updated to the new Ubuntu 20.04LTS version and all my node installations have gone. So to install node I have tried the following 2 methods:
1.sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs npm
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs
While installing nodejs I'm getting the error : nodejs : Depends: python2-minimal but it is not installable . Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

You need to install python2. Steps in Ubuntu 20
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2
This will install python2 successfully. Now you can continue with normal nodejs installation
I had a similar problem and solved it by following the instructions on https://speedysense.com/install-nodejs-on-ubuntu-20-04/
Tldr run these on a terminal: for current LTS Release (v14.x),
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Afterwards check your Nodejs and npm version by running these on a terminal:
node --version
npm --version
i'm trying to install nodejs in Ubuntu 18.10 but it returns some error.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nodejs : Depends: python-minimal but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Above is the message i get while install node Js by cammand: sudo apt-get install nodejs.
As described in this link:
Install node version manager:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash
Activate nvm:
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Use nvm to install the version of node you want:
nvm install 4.4.5
Test that Node.js is installed:
node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"
The recommended way to install node under Ubuntu appears to be to use the archives provided by NodeSource.
Their instructions are to run these shell commands to, presumably, set up a PPM and install a current version of node from that source.
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
First you need to install python 2.7 using following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.7
then install nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Using Ubuntu
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Using Debian, as root
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs
Hi i have installed node v4.2.6 and npm 3.5.2 in my ubuntu but now when i try to install latest version or node6.x then i am getting some errors in my terminal of Packages 404 Not Found. i have also attached the screenshot. please let me know how can i fix it?
i also have tried :-
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | sudo bash -
# Then install with:
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
still got the same output and i guess i made one mistake by running a command :-
sudo sed -i -e 's/:\/\/(archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com)/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
as mentioned in https://smyl.es/how-to-fix-ubuntudebian-apt-get-404-not-found-package-repository-errors-saucy-raring-quantal-oneiric-natty/
Here is the output of sudo apt-get update
i dont know what is your ubuntu version but if it's on 16.4 you can do this commands :
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
after that :
$ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh -o install_nvm.sh
and after do this commands :
$ nano install_nvm.sh
and after that close the nano and do this command :
$ bash install_nvm.sh
It will install the software into a subdirectory of your home directory at ~/.nvm. It will also add the necessary lines to your ~/.profile file to use the file.
To gain access to the nvm functionality, you'll need to log out and log back in again, or you can source the ~/.profile file so that your current session knows about the changes:
$ source ~/.profile
Now that you have nvm installed, you can install isolated Node.js versions.
To find out the versions of Node.js that are available for installation, you can type:
$ nvm ls-remote
and the out put looks like this :
....
v5.8.0
v5.9.0
v5.9.1
v5.10.0
v5.10.1
v5.11.0
v6.0.0
...
v8.4.0
now you can simply type this command to install the v8.4.0 of nodejs :
$ nvm install 8.4.0
and at the last step you can type this command to use the last version :
$ nvm use 8.4.0
and it's done!
You are using wrong package url, you must use
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Reference: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
I would suggest to use nvm as a nodejs and npm manager.
Then you can easily install required version of node with nvm install node x.x
command
At first I installed the node with terminal, with command
Update Package Manager
sudo apt-get update
Adding NodeJS PPAs
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
Installing NodeJS and NPM
sudo apt-get install nodejs
It works, but when I am looking version node, I see node v 4
Then I used google for search this problem and a found this topic
https://stackoverflow.com/a/43914369
There using a ln command for create symbolic link between two files
and used this instruction for manual install, but nothing happens, error appears and not installing
Look at this screenshot
Maybe I doing anything wrong?
I tend to avoid using my operating system's package manager to install node. The easiest way to install node is Node Version Manager.
Yeah! The solutions found in official site
Of course link Install node version 6
Can you please check:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
but for this you need curl to be installed.
sudo apt-get update
To install curl: sudo apt-get install curl
Here's the link for this.
To upgrade node to latest version: https://askubuntu.com/questions/426750/how-can-i-update-my-nodejs-to-the-latest-version#480642
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.
