How to install the latest versions of NodeJS and NPM?












196














I noticed over at the https://nodejs.org/ website that node is currently at v 0.12.0.



Can someone let me know how to install the latest version of node together with npm (terminal commands please)?

Fresh installation



Use the NodeSource PPA. For details look at the installation instructions. First, choose the Node.js version you need and add the sources for it:



v=8   # set to 4, 5, 6, ... as needed
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_$v.x | sudo -E bash -


Then install the Node.js package.



sudo apt-get install -y nodejs


P.S.: curl package must be installed on server for these code lines.



Upgrading



If you have nodejs already installed and want to update, then first remove current instalation and install it again using scripts above.



sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm

Generally speaking, loading arbitrary data from a URL into a root shell session is not a good idea and I wish people would stop peddling it as a solution for everything - "Please just run this script I'm sending you, and also while we're at it - I have a bridge you'd probably be interested in purchasing".



As an alternative, here's the "Ubuntu Way" of doing the same, where you can see how the system is being updated and know what repositories and what keys are added to your system configuration:



curl https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_7.x $(lsb_release -sc) main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs


This is for the latest (at time of writing) Nodejs version 7. Other versions can also be gotten with a simple change to the repo URL - consult nodesource.com documentation for details.

    I totally agree with your statement, but isn't adding a new repository to apt, the same as running some unknown script? (Though I understand the script in every other answer here, is actually adding that repo by itself)

    The script is adding the repo by itself, and also doing god knows what. It may be completely benign now, but who knows what DNS hijackers or web site exploiters will do in the future? Adding a repo is not the same as running a script of the internet because by itself it does not download any executable code or runs it - it will only do so in response to a specific apt-get install, which will verify the package was signed with a the nodesource key - which is hopefully kept much more securely then the nodesource domain or website. APT security is excellent and has a good track record.

    @Dan, It appears you are running Ubuntu 15.04 (utopic) which is not supported by Node Source, so you get 0.10 from utopic's repositories. Node Source only support LTS releases and the latest non-LTS. Because you are not on an LTS release you're expected to upgrade to the latest version when it came out last October. So either do that, or hack it by changing the $(lsb_release -c) release autodetection bit to one of the supported releases and deal with the consequences.

If you want to update inside npm, you can use the n command:



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


This installs the n package which you can use to switch NodeJS-Versions and uses it. Comparison to the alternative NVM and command options are at SO. There is also a blog post.

    I'm pretty new to npm and nvm; I'm trying to install npm inside a python virtualenv; does it matter whether I use npm or nvm? nvm install lts/carbon installs npm and node for me. How is this different from the above commands which you shared?

      Then for Node,



      sudo npm cache clean -f

      NVM (Node Version manager)



      https://github.com/creationix/nvm



      NVM installs both the latest stable node and npm for you



      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, you will probably want to add the following to your .bashrc:



      f="$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
      if [ -r "$f" ]; then
      . "$f" &>'/dev/null'
      nvm use --lts &>'/dev/null'
      fi


      Advantages:




      • 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


      Tested in Ubuntu 17.10.

        You can install latest version very easily using below instruction.




        curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -




        Vesion 7.x is the latest version of node.




        sudo apt-get install nodejs




        Above line will install nodejs.




        sudo apt-get install build-essential




        This will install essential modules for nodejs to run properly.



        Now check whether nodejs installed correctly at your end




        nodejs -v




        This will return installed nodejs version.




        npm -v




        This will return installed npm version. Hope it helps....

        Node.js is available as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. Specific to Node.js, developers can choose from one of the currently supported releases and get regular automatic updates directly from NodeSource. Node.js versions 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are currently available, with the Snap Store being updated within hours, or minutes of a Node.js release.



        Node can be installed with a single command, for example:



        sudo snap install node --classic --channel 11/stable 


        The node snap can be accessed by the command node, for example:



        $ node -v  
        v11.5.0


        An up-to-date version of npm will installed as part of the node snap. npm should be run outside of the node repl, in your normal shell. After installing the node snap run the following command to enable npm update checking:



        sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/your-username/.config


        Replace your-username in the above command with your own username. Then run npm -v to check if the version of npm is up-to-date. As an example I checked that npm was up-to-date, checked the version of an already installed package named yarn with the command npm list yarn and then updated the existing yarn package to the latest version with the command npm update yarn



        Users can switch between versions of Node.js at any time without needing to involve additional tools like nvm (Node Version Manager), for example:



        sudo snap refresh node --channel=11/stable


        Users can test bleeding-edge versions of Node.js that can be installed from the latest edge channel which is currently tracking Node.js version 12 by switching with:



        sudo snap switch node --edge


        This approach is only recommended for those users who are willing to participate in testing and bug reporting upstream.

                  My favorite way to install latest nodejs and npm is using the installation binaries archive provided on nodejs' website.



                  This might quickly become your new favorite way too. Works like a charm. It involves 1 download and 1 command. Done. NO errors [the multiple times I've done this]. Didn't need to uninstall existing stuff beforehand.



                  Installing nodejs via Binaries





                  At first remove the installed version: (if exists)



                  sudo apt-get remove nodejs


                  Download



                  https://nodejs.org/en/download/stable/



                  Download Linux Binaries.




                  • I had to extract the tar.xz to a folder and then re-compress as tar.gz


                  Install

                  Video Explanation





                  NVM is very simple to install and allows you to easily switch node versions. From the github repository:



                  curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash


                  downloads and runs the installation script



                  nvm ls-remote


                  to see the available versions. Say you want to install version 8.9.4



                  nvm install 8.9.4


                  and you're done.



                  To install another version and use it (say 9.6.1)



                  nvm install 9.6.1
                  nvm alias default 9.6.1

                    This approach allows you easily delete Node.JS, keep different versions and provide the commands to all the system users.



                    Download the stable version of Node.JS, uncompress it, and move it into /opt.



                    In case you wish to install different versions, you can rename the folder according to its version code:



                    /opt/node/6.9.1


                    Since only root can change files in /opt/, if you don't wish to call invoke sudo every time you need to modify a file, change the group permission:



                    chgrp adm -R /opt/node/6.9.1


                    Then create file /etc/profile.d/node.sh if the following content:



                    export NODE_ENV=/opt/node/6.9.1
                    export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=${NODE_ENV}/include
                    export C_INCLUDE_PATH=${NODE_ENV}/include
                    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${NODE_ENV}/lib
                    export MANPATH=${NODE_ENV}/share/man:${MANPATH}

                    export PATH=${NODE_ENV}/bin:$PATH


                    Logout and login and X-Window will reload all profile configurations.



                    If you had a previous versions installed, to avoid library conflicts run:



                    npm cache clean

                      • Curling into a root shell is a really bad thing to do in general do to the huge number of security issues this opens up, I would recommend that you update your blog post and your answer to not do this.

                        Fresh installation



                        Use the NodeSource PPA. For details look at the installation instructions. First, choose the Node.js version you need and add the sources for it:



                        v=8   # set to 4, 5, 6, ... as needed
                        curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_$v.x | sudo -E bash -


                        Then install the Node.js package.



                        sudo apt-get install -y nodejs


                        P.S.: curl package must be installed on server for these code lines.



                        Upgrading



                        If you have nodejs already installed and want to update, then first remove current instalation and install it again using scripts above.



                        sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm

                          NodeSource use two separate PPA: one for 0.10.X version and for 0.12.X. In addition, it contains last npm package.

                        @AlexanderMills the answer provided below (askubuntu.com/a/711976/389358) will get you the latest version of nodejs from NodeSource -- this package includes the latest version of npm as well.

                        Generally speaking, loading arbitrary data from a URL into a root shell session is not a good idea and I wish people would stop peddling it as a solution for everything - "Please just run this script I'm sending you, and also while we're at it - I have a bridge you'd probably be interested in purchasing".



                        As an alternative, here's the "Ubuntu Way" of doing the same, where you can see how the system is being updated and know what repositories and what keys are added to your system configuration:



                        curl https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
                        sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_7.x $(lsb_release -sc) main"
                        sudo apt-get update
                        sudo apt-get install nodejs


                        This is for the latest (at time of writing) Nodejs version 7. Other versions can also be gotten with a simple change to the repo URL - consult nodesource.com documentation for details.

                          I totally agree with your statement, but isn't adding a new repository to apt, the same as running some unknown script? (Though I understand the script in every other answer here, is actually adding that repo by itself)

                          The script is adding the repo by itself, and also doing god knows what. It may be completely benign now, but who knows what DNS hijackers or web site exploiters will do in the future? Adding a repo is not the same as running a script of the internet because by itself it does not download any executable code or runs it - it will only do so in response to a specific apt-get install, which will verify the package was signed with a the nodesource key - which is hopefully kept much more securely then the nodesource domain or website. APT security is excellent and has a good track record.

                          @Dan, It appears you are running Ubuntu 15.04 (utopic) which is not supported by Node Source, so you get 0.10 from utopic's repositories. Node Source only support LTS releases and the latest non-LTS. Because you are not on an LTS release you're expected to upgrade to the latest version when it came out last October. So either do that, or hack it by changing the $(lsb_release -c) release autodetection bit to one of the supported releases and deal with the consequences.

                        If you want to update inside npm, you can use the n command:



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


                        This installs the n package which you can use to switch NodeJS-Versions and uses it. Comparison to the alternative NVM and command options are at SO. There is also a blog post.

                          I'm pretty new to npm and nvm; I'm trying to install npm inside a python virtualenv; does it matter whether I use npm or nvm? nvm install lts/carbon installs npm and node for me. How is this different from the above commands which you shared?

                                        NVM (Node Version manager)



                                        https://github.com/creationix/nvm



                                        NVM installs both the latest stable node and npm for you



                                        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, you will probably want to add the following to your .bashrc:



                                        f="$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
                                        if [ -r "$f" ]; then
                                        . "$f" &>'/dev/null'
                                        nvm use --lts &>'/dev/null'
                                        fi


                                        Advantages:




                                        • 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

                                            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, you will probably want to add the following to your .bashrc:



                                            f="$HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh"
                                            if [ -r "$f" ]; then
                                            . "$f" &>'/dev/null'
                                            nvm use --lts &>'/dev/null'
                                            fi


                                            Advantages:




                                            • 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

                                                You can install latest version very easily using below instruction.




                                                curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -




                                                Vesion 7.x is the latest version of node.




                                                sudo apt-get install nodejs




                                                Above line will install nodejs.




                                                sudo apt-get install build-essential




                                                This will install essential modules for nodejs to run properly.



                                                Now check whether nodejs installed correctly at your end




                                                nodejs -v




                                                This will return installed nodejs version.




                                                npm -v




                                                This will return installed npm version. Hope it helps....

                                                Node.js is available as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu. Specific to Node.js, developers can choose from one of the currently supported releases and get regular automatic updates directly from NodeSource. Node.js versions 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are currently available, with the Snap Store being updated within hours, or minutes of a Node.js release.



                                                Node can be installed with a single command, for example:



                                                sudo snap install node --classic --channel 11/stable 


                                                The node snap can be accessed by the command node, for example:



                                                $ node -v  
                                                v11.5.0


                                                An up-to-date version of npm will installed as part of the node snap. npm should be run outside of the node repl, in your normal shell. After installing the node snap run the following command to enable npm update checking:



                                                sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/your-username/.config


                                                Replace your-username in the above command with your own username. Then run npm -v to check if the version of npm is up-to-date. As an example I checked that npm was up-to-date, checked the version of an already installed package named yarn with the command npm list yarn and then updated the existing yarn package to the latest version with the command npm update yarn



                                                Users can switch between versions of Node.js at any time without needing to involve additional tools like nvm (Node Version Manager), for example:



                                                sudo snap refresh node --channel=11/stable


                                                Users can test bleeding-edge versions of Node.js that can be installed from the latest edge channel which is currently tracking Node.js version 12 by switching with:



                                                sudo snap switch node --edge


                                                This approach is only recommended for those users who are willing to participate in testing and bug reporting upstream.

                                                    An up-to-date version of npm will installed as part of the node snap. npm should be run outside of the node repl, in your normal shell. After installing the node snap run the following command to enable npm update checking:



                                                    sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/your-username/.config


                                                    Replace your-username in the above command with your own username. Then run npm -v to check if the version of npm is up-to-date. As an example I checked that npm was up-to-date, checked the version of an already installed package named yarn with the command npm list yarn and then updated the existing yarn package to the latest version with the command npm update yarn



                                                    Users can switch between versions of Node.js at any time without needing to involve additional tools like nvm (Node Version Manager), for example:



                                                    sudo snap refresh node --channel=11/stable


                                                    Users can test bleeding-edge versions of Node.js that can be installed from the latest edge channel which is currently tracking Node.js version 12 by switching with:



                                                    sudo snap switch node --edge


                                                    This approach is only recommended for those users who are willing to participate in testing and bug reporting upstream.

                                                                                        This might quickly become your new favorite way too. Works like a charm. It involves 1 download and 1 command.

                                                                                                                Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).



                                                                                                                Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
