To install version 8: curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Source: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

GEOFFREY MWANGI

even with version 8 the same error comes

George

ok run sudo apt update then sudo apt install -f @geoffreymwangi

GEOFFREY MWANGI

after running am now getting 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 255 not upgraded. so node js still doesnt install

should the last part be sudo apt install -f or sudo apt-get install -f nodejs

George

For Ubuntu 14.04 sudo apt-get install -f

GEOFFREY MWANGI

so that doesnt install node as well is it possible to manually install it like how installation happens in windows platform without the apt-get

George

It's not meant to install node just to install any requirements, now run that code I gave earlier!

GEOFFREY MWANGI

George

GEOFFREY MWANGI

After tonnes of tries ive found out another way to install nodejs using nvm

gist.github.com/d2s/372b5943bce17b964a79

With this you can also switch different versions it has installed with nvm without an issue
