Answer 1

Here are two ways to try:

NOTE - Tested on CentOS 7.9.

1. Use the setup program (this is what you did, but it doesn't look like you installed the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL)):

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
sudo yum install gcc-c++ make
sudo yum install nodejs

2. If that does not work, download the tarball and install manually:

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/node-v8.17.0-linux-x64.tar.gz -P ~/Downloads
cd ~/Downloads
sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf node*.tar.gz

Afterwards, check that nodejs was installed:

$ node -v
v8.17.0

$ npm -v
6.13.4
