If you can please advise how should i update the node runtime version

Answer 1

This is just asking to upgrade your Node . I normally use nvm with command nvm install <version> && nvm use <version> or you can use node helper as follows:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n

sudo n stable // for stable version
sudo n 0.12.7 // for specific version like v0.12.7

// check the node version after install
node -v

Answer 2

To install Node.js v5.x on either Ubuntu or Debian:

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

Answer 3

It depends on how you have installed node.js to your computer. You can either go to https://nodejs.org/ and get the updated version, or you can use Node Version Manager (NVM) which allows you to control multiple node versions at once.

I would recommend using NVM, as this avoids having to install nodejs with sudo, which can lead to other problems down the line.

Answer 4

I use command:

sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm install -g cordova
sudo npm install -g ionic

and it works for me.
