Can't install Node v18 on Raspberry Pi

[zaiff5091]

Hello,

Sorry in advance for the bad use of the form, I'm new with everything around nvm. I did a fresh install on my raspberry pi and got this. Do you know what could be the origin of the problem ? If there are informations missing don't hesitate to tell me and I will add.

Operating system and version:

System : Raspberry Pi Zero W
OS : Raspberry Pi OS, release of May 3rd 2023

nvm debug output:

How did you install nvm?

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.4/install.sh | bash

What steps did you perform?

nvm install lts/hydrogen

What happened?

Take around 1 hour to proceed and this is what I get at the end :

cc: fatal error: Processus arrêté signal terminated program cc1
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [tools/icu/icudata.target.mk:157 : /home/nico/.nvm/.cache/src/node-v18.17.1/files/out/Release/obj.target/icudata/gen/icudt73_dat.o] Erreur 1
make: *** [Makefile:134 : node] Erreur 2
nvm: install v18.17.1 failed!

What did you expect to happen?

No error when installing v18.17.1.

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

No.

If you are having installation issues, or getting "N/A", what does curl -I --compressed -v https://nodejs.org/dist/ print out?

Can you please fill out the entire issue template? It's there for a reason.

[zaiff5091]

It's updated.

[ljharb]

Thanks.

hmm, I’m not entirely sure - it looks like it’s failing the compile process, though, which is all managed by node itself. Can you try installing node 16, 20, etc and see if any of them complete? Also, can you confirm there’s enough disk space?

[Ostabo]

I'd suggest using the unofficial-builds.nodejs.org mirror as explained here for a Pi Zero W

So for node 18.x:

NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/ nvm install 18

Thanks @Ostabo !! It worked.

Thank you guys for your help.
