How to install latest Node.js in Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS)?

1. Go to https://nodejs.org and look for the current version of node.js. At this moment, for me version 9.5.0 is the current version.
2. Open Terminal and Type
   • curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_9.x | sudo -E bash -
   • Note: in future if you see the current version 10.x.x then in the URL above replace setup_9.x with setup_10.x
   • sudo apt-get install nodejs
   • sudo apt-get install npm
   • sudo npm i -g npm
   • In order for some npm packages to work (such as those that require building from source), you will need to install the build-essentials package.
   • sudo apt-get install build-essential
