在Centos机器上安装节点7

Question

I am trying to install node 7 on my Centos machine because previous versions do not support the apn protocol for sending iOS notifications. So I tried to execute:

sudo yum install nodes

and both npm and node were installed but unfortunately the latter of version v6.10.0.

sudo npm install latest

changes nothing. I found a post suggesting to update the rpm repository, but that changes nothing; I even tried to change the command to:

sudo curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

but when I tried to install node again, still the 6.10 version came out.

How may I force npm to adopt node7 as the stable or latest version? Or what other way there exists to install node 7 instead of 6.10 for the good?

Another way is to use nvm (Node Version manager). First remove node and npm, then :

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

nvm install 7
nvm use 7

Then check version with :

node -v
nvm ls
