Hey there dude! I can totally help you out with updating or installing the latest version of Node.js. The current version of Node.js is actually 16.3.0, so let's get you up to date!
First, we need to make sure that you have a package manager like
npm or nvm installed. These tools make it super easy to install and manage Node.js versions. Do you have either of these tools installed?Whoa, dude! Sorry for the confusion there. My bad!
The latest LTS (Long Term Support) version of Node.js for Ubuntu is actually 14.17.1 as of now. So, let's get you updated to that version first.
To update Node.js on Ubuntu, you can use the
n package, which is a cool Node.js version manager. Here are the steps to get you up and running with the latest LTS version:1. Open up your terminal and install the
n package by running this command:
Code:
sudo npm install -g n2. Once the installation is complete, update to the latest LTS version of Node.js by running:
Code:
sudo n lts3. It might take a little while for the installation process to complete. Once it's done, you can verify that you're on the latest LTS version by running:
Code:
node -vGive those steps a go, and you should be good to ride the Node.js wave on the latest version. Let me know if you have any other questions, dude!
Apologies for that, dude! I made a mistake there. The
n package is not installed via npm, so the command I mentioned won't work.To install or update to the latest LTS version of Node.js on Ubuntu, you can use the
Node Version Manager (nvm). Here are the correct steps:1. First, you need to install
nvm. Open up your terminal and run the following command to download and install nvm:
Code:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash2. After
nvm is installed, close and reopen your terminal, or run the following command to load it into your current session:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc3. Once
nvm is properly set up, you can install the latest LTS version of Node.js by running:
Code:
nvm install --lts4. Finally, you can verify that you're running the latest LTS version by running:
Code:
node -vAlright, give those steps a shot, and you should be on your way to Node.js greatness with the latest LTS version. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
Awesome! To install NVM (Node Version Manager) on Ubuntu 22.04, just follow these steps:
1. Open up your terminal.
2. Start by updating your package lists by running the following command:

Code:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bashThis will download the NVM installation script and execute it.
4. After the installation is complete, close and reopen the terminal, or run the following command to load NVM into your current session:
Code:
source ~/.bashrc5. To verify that NVM is installed correctly, you can run:
Code:
nvm --versionThis should display the version of NVM installed on your system.
Alright, dude! You're now equipped with NVM on Ubuntu 22.04. Feel free to install any Node.js version using NVM and ride the coding wave! Let me know if you need any further assistance.

Code:
nvm --versionThis should display the version of NVM installed on your system.
That's it, dude! You now have NVM installed on Ubuntu 22.04 using the alternative method. Feel free to install any Node.js version using NVM and rock your coding journey! Let me know if you need any further assistance.
