I have a proble with install node.js & nmp - who can help ?

[getting-power-or-powder]

I have used this commands and have errors, i don't know what to do...



curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x -o nodesource_setup.sh


You can inspect the contents of this script with nano (or your preferred text editor):





nano nodesource_setup.sh

Run the script under sudo:



sudo bash nodesource_setup.sh

The PPA will be added to your configuration and your local package cache will be updated automatically. After running the setup script from Nodesource, you can install the Node.js package in the same way you did above:



sudo apt install nodejs



How to fix this problem?

Do you trust nodesource.com? Running a random script from a random site is dangerous. Running a random script from a random site as root (w/ sudo) is asking to give your machine to them.

I don't know anything about nodesource.

The script looks like it adds a few PPA keys and sources, so they will be able to install/update the software from that PPA later. Hopefully, they are trustworthy.

I don't use node.js for anything. If I were going to help troubleshoot this, I'd need the specific release you are running. Something like Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS which is from the lsb_release -a command.

Also, you should manually perform your weekly patching before looking for help with package management: https://blog.jdpfu.com/2011/06/24/system-maintenance-for-linux-pcs - updated for 2020.

I have tryed again, but it's again.

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu

A better way to achieve what you want would be to use nvm (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).
