sudo apt-get install nodejs

After installing i have checked:

node -v

Hey guys if you have Ubuntu 16 try this instructions. It worked for me perfectly.Also provide your account password whenever asked in this process.

  1. sudo su -c "echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x xenial main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list"

  2. sudo su -c "echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x xenial main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list"

  3. sudo apt-get update

  4. apt-cache policy nodejs Check if the versions listed has node 8

  5. sudo apt-get install nodejs

  6. nodejs -v check the node version installed

This shall successfully install nodejs version 8 on your system. If you wish any other version, then change the version on step 1 and 2 it shall work successfully.

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

sudo apt-get update

#Use this to remove the Previous Nodejs from Your device and then try again with Installing NVM
