Nodejs 总是安装 4.2.6

Question

I am installing latest version of nodejs in my localhost. But system is always installing the 4.2.6 version.How can i install the latest version.

Commands i have used:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs

After installing i have checked:

node -v

Result:

v4.2.6

Output of apt-cache policy nodejs :

Installed: 4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4
Candidate: 4.2.6~dfsg-1ubuntu4
Version table:

Can anyone send the installation steps for installing from

In Linux/Mac systems, there is no better way than nvm - Node Version Manager .

Install:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

Then, usage is as simple as:

nvm install 8.0
nvm use 8.0

If after reboot you will see old version, use nvm alias to set your version as default one.

Note: If you're a happy user of new M1 Apple chip, install version 15 of Node.js with nvm, it supports it out of the box.

Hey guys if you have Ubuntu 16 try this instructions. It worked for me perfectly.Also provide your account password whenever asked in this process.

1. sudo su -c "echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x xenial main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list"

2. sudo su -c "echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x xenial main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list"

3. sudo apt-get update

4. apt-cache policy nodejs Check if the versions listed has node 8

5. sudo apt-get install nodejs

6. nodejs -v check the node version installed

This shall successfully install nodejs version 8 on your system. If you wish any other version, then change the version on step 1 and 2 it shall work successfully.

For me - the solution was on this page:

Ref: https://websiteforstudents.com/install-the-latest-node-js-and-nmp-packages-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04-lts/

... for the Latest release, add this PPA..

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -

To install the LTS release, use this PPA

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -

🍺

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver LTS ... so I needed version 8

Answer 4

Current LTS instructions:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

sudo apt-get update

#Use this to remove the Previous Nodejs from Your device and then try again with Installing NVM
