如何在Ubuntu 14.04上安装Node.js 4. *

Question

I've been looking at some pages that explain how to install nodejs 4.* on Ubuntu 14.04 but it doesn't install and tells me that I already have the latest version:

$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash -

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

$ node --version
v0.10.25

There is an error at the end of the curl command but I don't know if that' related. I'm following this guide - https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/ - but other pages seem to be the same. What's wrong?

hey for that the most simple solution is to use nvm (node version manager) it by using nvm you can easily switch to any version of node with a simple command follow link below to install nvm. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-with-nvm-node-version-manager-on-a-vps
