I usually install NodeJS and NPM in Ubuntu and I follow this tutorial (How To Install Using a PPA):
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server
I have tried it in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS without problems.
Warning: Try to install in a clean Ubuntu.
Hope It works for you!

My raspbian system is currently running Node.js v4.8.2 and am trying to install its latest version but in vain.I have tried the following solution from this post npm command not working on ubuntu (i.e uninstalling the old packages and installing new ones).When using this command sudo apt-get install -y nodejs I get this message:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libiw-dev : Depends: libiw30 (= 30~pre9-8) but 30~pre9-12 is to be installed
nodejs : Conflicts: nodejs-legacy
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I also tried installing NPM directly using this command: sudo apt-get install npm but I get this message:

The problem comes from this line:
nodejs : Conflicts: nodejs-legacy
You should remove all versions of node first.
(Following commands can be referenced at raspberrypi.org's community page):
pi#raspberrypi:~ $ sudo su -
root#raspberrypi:~ # apt-get remove nodered -y
root#raspberrypi:~ # apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
root#raspberrypi:~ # apt-get remove npm -y # if you installed npm
Make sure you are pointed to correct source.
root#raspberrypi:~ # curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo bash -
Install, and check versions:
root#raspberrypi:~ # apt-get install nodejs -y
root#raspberrypi:~ # node -v
root#raspberrypi:~ # npm -v
Here is the error message:

The command '/bin/sh -c apt-get install -y npm' returned a non-zero code: 100
It comes from running this dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update -y
RUN apt-get install -y curl
# To install node 6
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN apt-get install -y npm
RUN apt-get install -y git
I started the docker process by docker build -t mysystem .
I suppose the npm in original apt-get db is not compatible with nodejs. How can I correct this? I want to consider nvm as my last resort
npm comes bundeled with node, so you should be fine with only:
apt-get install -y nodejs

Update-
What I have tried is-
sudo apt-get autoremove
And
sudo apt-get update
And then installing, but not solved.
Again-
Trying to remove all listed packages like this-
sudo apt-get remove --purge <package>
And getting this-
Here are the steps you should follow.
To resolve conflicts sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
Remove (sudo apt-get remove --purge <package>) all the packages that above command lists.
Now install Node the right way:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
This will install the latest Node and the latest npm as well.
I have a Virtual Server from 1and1 running Ubuntu 14.04. After correcting the /etc/apt/sources.list to the official ones I tried to install nodejs and npm (to install bower later). I followed the guide availabe under https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server.
Everything worked fine until I wanted to install npm. The latest version of nodejs is already installed:
root#somewhere:~# node --version
v0.10.30
When I try to install npm I get the following error:
root#somewhere:~# apt-get install npm

Yes, I ran apt-get update several times. Does anybody know how to fix this?
root#somewhere:~# lsb_release -rc
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
A quick search yields this highly upvoted answer. In summary, first try:
sudo apt-get clean
This will clear the local cache of .deb files. I that doesn't work, try running:
sudo apt-get -f install
The -f stands for "fix broken", not force like in some other commands. This is what worked for me when I had this problem with another package, but if neither of these commands work, there's plenty of detail in that answer. Even if these fix it for you, it's a pretty interesting read.
Referring to https://askubuntu.com/questions/626383/node-package-manager-got-corrupted-in-some-way-now-it-cannot-be-installed
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm ## remove existing nodejs and npm packages
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
You should get the correct package installed. I tried this on Ubuntu 16.04.
