Answer 1

As described in this link :

Install node version manager:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash

Activate nvm:

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

Use nvm to install the version of node you want:

nvm install 4.4.5

Test that Node.js is installed:

node -e "console.log('Running Node.js ' + process.version)"

The recommended way to install node under Ubuntu appears to be to use the archives provided by NodeSource .

Their instructions are to run these shell commands to, presumably, set up a PPM and install a current version of node from that source.

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

First you need to install python 2.7 using following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.7

then install nodejs

sudo apt-get install nodejs

Using Ubuntu

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Using Debian, as root

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_15.x | bash - apt-get install -y nodejs
