Обновление node.js и npm. Ubuntu
Предполагается, что обновления ставим из под пользователя с ограниченными правами, поэтому добавляется sudo к команде.
Для удобства так же будет установлено маленькое дополнение.
1) Обновляем менеджер пакетов NPM, согласно синтаксиса npm update [name [name . ]]
sudo npm install -g npm2) Очишаем кеш NPM
sudo npm cache clean -f3) Установим маленький вспомогательный пакет, под названием ‘n’
sudo npm install -g n4) Теперь установим последнюю стабильную версию Node.js
sudo n stableТак же можем установить более новый вариант, указав номер версии Node.js. На момент написания статьи это 7.9.0
sudo n 7.9.0Ubuntu Server: Как обновить NodeJS до последней стабильной версии
Для того что бы обновить уже установленный на вашем Ubuntu Server Node.JS до последней стабильной версии нужно последовательно выполнить следующие команды:
sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable Затем выполним перепривязку командной строки к последней версии
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy Если вас не устраивает последняя стабильная версия и вам нужна самая свежая версия ноды замените sudo n stable на sudo n latest и будет вам счастье.
Как обновить NodeJS?
Использовать Bash-скрипт для управления/переключения нодой: nvm .
Версия для Windows .
Особый смак в переключениях активной версии ноды, например:
nvm list * 4.6.1 0.12.0 node -v v4.6.1 nvm use 0.12.0 Now using node v0.12.0 node -v v0.12.0 Если хочется попроще, то предлагаю использовать следующий алгоритм:
-
Очистить кэш npm :
npm cache clean -f npm install -g n -
Стабильная версия:
n stable n latest n 0.8.14 n rm 0.8.14 n - 0.8.14 Для OS X можно использовать менеджер пакетов Homebrew :
$ brew upgrade node Отслеживать

Ответ выполняет поставленную задачу, но лучше использовать nvm , который специально для этого и был создан + он дает возможность очень просто переключаться между версиями

@ВасилийБарбашев, пожалуй да, можно и про него добавить. Сейчас обновлю.

Когда мне на CentOs 7 требовалось обновить версию NodeJs(там по-моему изначально 6-ая стоит), поскольку в частности не устанавливался Puppeteer я обновлялся до 10-ой версии по этой статье http://blog.ivru.net/?id=221
Если коротко там написано, что NodeJs стандартной версии на CentOs 7 устанавливается выполнением команды: yum install nodejs
При этом если Вам нужна более свежая версия NodeJs чем стандартная, Вы можете перед установкой выполнить команду curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash — в данном примере команды для установки будет выбрана 10-ая версия, Вы перед нажатием Enter можете отредактировать версию на нужную Вам.
Более подробно по установке читайте по ссылке, так же в этой же статье Вы сможете найти файлы необходимых репозиториев(по умолчанию или необходимых для установки) в случаи если Ваши файлы повреждены и попытка установки заканчивается ошибкой.
How can I update my nodeJS to the latest version?
It’s better to use nvm to install nodejs. It stands for «Node Version Manager». You can very easily install multiple versions of nodejs, switch between them and set a default.

Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use
sudo n latest - Fix PATH:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy # fix /usr/bin/node
sudo n rm 6.0.0 # replace number with version of Node that was installed sudo npm uninstall -g n
You may need to restart your terminal to see the updated node version.

I would advise strongly against doing this on a production instance. It can seriously mess stuff up with your global npm packages and your ability to install new ones.

For me node —version still said «0.12.0». I had to rm /usr/local/bin/node , then I was able to use the newly installed version of nodejs.
Jul 17, 2016 at 16:21
This is installation instructions not upgrade instructions. Installation implies that it’s never been installed before. If you already have a version installed as the question implies, then what happens if you install a different version? Do you get version conflicts? Does the installation delete the old one?
Jan 23, 2019 at 11:13
For all confused idiots like me, it seems that running the installation will effectively replace what ever you had before. So I think you can perform either an upgrade or a downgrade with this process. I upgraded from v8 to v10 and I spotted this message in the install logs: Unpacking nodejs (10.15.0-1nodesource1) over (8.12.0-1nodesource1) . , running node -v after the installation happily displays v10.15.0 which is what I want.

curl
Jun 26, 2019 at 11:26
@krubo I agree. The user should examine the script before running it. However, it is from a reputable source ( nodesource.com ) and the connection is secured by HTTPS, so there is an adequate amount of trust you can place in those scripts. But yes, in general, check the scripts before you pipe it to sudo bash
Jun 26, 2019 at 19:18
I also recommend using nvm instead, and also removing the already installed version to avoid conflicts in the terminal
sudo apt purge nodejs npm then install nvm and use it
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash nvm install node should download and install the latest version of node.
To update node later on, just do:
nvm install node nvm alias default node 135 10 10 bronze badges

Aug 20, 2018 at 13:35
This also works the best for me (have pretty ancient nodejs on our EC2 and tried lots of suggestions and only this one made it work). Also 100% agree with the comment above!
Jun 12, 2019 at 5:26
nvm installs Node.js on a per-user basis. Using nvm will not give you a system-wide node command. So I would advice against removing the global/system node so scripts running as another user can still run node .
Jul 25, 2019 at 21:42
@d4nyll good remark, but it is mostly applied to multiuser systems.
Apr 2, 2020 at 14:17
While nvm can be pretty handy, be cautious that it increases bash startup time dramatically.

@bigbadonk420 yeah, if you just googled it, probably better to skip the first line and do just update and install-worked for me with node 0.10.34

I use NVM to handle my Node versions. Very simple to set up and easy to use.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm To install NVM globally instead, use the following curl command instead of the one above (and presumably don’t use the second command but do use the third one)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | NVM_DIR=/usr/local/nvm bash Then use nvm install stable (or insert a version number instead of stable ) to get the latest/a specific version of Node. Use nvm use stable (or a specific version number) to use that Node version. Use nvm ls to see what Node versions you have installed and nvm uninstall stable (or a specific version number) to remove a specific version of Node.
Note
If you are struggling with updating npm to the latest stable version because you are stuck at a specific version of npm and every time you update it that doesn’t work then you can use this method to update npm as well. As soon as you install the latest stable version of node , npm will automatically be updated to its latest stable version.

NVM (Node Version manager) with —lts
NVM was mentioned at: https://askubuntu.com/a/441527/52975 but here goes a more complete usage example, including the sane —lts version, which installs the latest Long Term Support version of Node, which is likely the one you want if you don’t have more specific requirement.
Install NVM and the latest Node LTS version:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | sh source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh nvm install --lts nvm use --lts npm --version Now test it out with a dummy package:
npm install --global vaca vaca Since the sourcing has to be done for every new shell, the install script hacks adds some auto sourcing to the end of your .barshrc . That works, but I prefer to remove the auto-added one and add my own:
f="$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh" if [ -r "$f" ]; then . "$f" &>'/dev/null' nvm use --lts &>'/dev/null' fi - allows you to use multiple versions of Node and without sudo
- is analogous to Ruby RVM and Python Virtualenv, widely considered best practice in Ruby and Python communities
- downloads a pre-compiled binary where possible, and if not it downloads the source and compiles one for you
We can easily switch node versions with:
nvm install 0.9.0 nvm install 0.9.9 nvm use 0.9.0 node --version #v0.9.0 nvm use 0.9.9 node --version #v0.9.9 With this setup, you get for example:
which node /home/ciro/.nvm/versions/node/v0.9.0/bin/node which vaca /home/ciro/.nvm/versions/node/v0.9.0/bin/vaca and if we want to use the globally installed module:
npm link vaca node -e 'console.log(require.resolve("vaca"))' /home/ciro/.nvm/versions/node/v0.9.0/lib/node_modules/vaca/index.js - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15636367/nodejs-require-a-global-module-package
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7970793/how-do-i-import-global-modules-in-node-i-get-error-cannot-find-module-module
so we see that everything is completely contained inside the specific node version.
Tested in Ubuntu 17.10.

CLEAN SIMPLE STEPS (which I use) :
- Uninstall previous version of node —
sudo apt remove node && sudo apt autoremove - Go to https://nodejs.org/en/ and download the latest version of node.
- Now open the terminal and change the directory where node is downloaded and then run-
tar -xvf node-v12.16.2-linux-x64.tar.xz - now run this in terminal —
nano ~/.bashrc - and append it with the following –
export PATH=/path/to/node-js/bin:$PATH
Where, /path/to/node-js/ is to be replaced where you extracted node in step 3.` - run a last command source ~/.bashrc
That’s it.
Now you can check your node version by node -v

Commands I executed were:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs and the error i was getting:
Invalid version 0.12.2 Line 299: curl not found in /bin/n What I figured out was curl utility was not installed on my os.
I executed command:
apt-get install curl (use sudo as prefix if you are not su )
