NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions

NodeSource

CircleCI

This repository contains documentation for using the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions via .rpm and .deb as well as their setup and support scripts.

If you are looking for NodeSource's low-impact Node.js performance monitoring platform, please get started here.

Please file an issue if you are experiencing a problem or would like to discuss something related to the distributions.

Pull requests are encouraged if you have changes you believe would improve the setup process or increase compatibility across Linux distributions.

Optional: install build tools

To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:

use sudo on Ubuntu or run this as root on debian
apt-get install -y build-essential

Uninstall nodejs Ubuntu & Debian packages

To completely remove Node.js installed from the deb.nodesource.com package methods above:

use sudo on Ubuntu or run this as root on debian
apt-get purge nodejs &&\
rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

Manual installation

If you're not a fan of curl <url> | bash -, or are using an unsupported distribution, you can try a manual installation.

These instructions assume sudo is present, however some distributions do not include this command by default, particularly those focused on a minimal environment. In this case, you should install sudo or su to root to run the commands directly.

1. Remove the old PPA if it exists

This step is only required if you previously used Chris Lea's Node.js PPA.

# add-apt-repository may not be present on some Ubuntu releases:
# sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository -y -r ppa:chris-lea/node.js &&\
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list &&\
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chris-lea-node_js-*.list.save

2. Add the NodeSource package signing key

KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee "$KEYRING" >/dev/null
# wget can also be used:
# wget --quiet -O - https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee "$KEYRING" >/dev/null
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring "$KEYRING" --list-keys
chmod a+r /usr/share/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

The key ID is 9FD3B784BC1C6FC31A8A0A1C1655A0AB68576280.

3. Add the desired NodeSource repository

# Replace with the branch of Node.js or io.js you want to install: node_8.x, node_16.x, etc...
VERSION=node_16.x
# Replace with the keyring above, if different
KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
# The below command will set this correctly, but if lsb_release isn't available, you can set it manually:
# - For Debian distributions: jessie, sid, etc...
# - For Ubuntu distributions: xenial, bionic, etc...
# - For Debian or Ubuntu derived distributions your best option is to use the codename corresponding to the upstream release your distribution is based off. This is an advanced scenario and unsupported if your distribution is not listed as supported per earlier in this README.
DISTRO="$(lsb_release -s -c)"
echo "deb [signed-by=$KEYRING] https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
echo "deb-src [signed-by=$KEYRING] https://deb.nodesource.com/$VERSION $DISTRO main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

4. Update package lists and install Node.js

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

FAQ

Q: How do I use this repo when behind a proxy?

A: Please take a look at issue #9


Q: How do I pin to specific versions of Node.js?

A: Please take a look at issue #33


Q: I upgraded to a new major version of Node.js using the scripts, but the old version is still being installed, what is going on?

A: You probably need to clear out your package manager's cache. Take a look at issue #191


Q: I'm trying to install Node.js on CentOS 5 / RHEL 5 and it is failing, why?

A: Due to the limitations of the compiler toolchain on EL 5 and its end of general support, we no longer support. See issue #190


Q: I'm seeing "Your distribution, identified as ".i686" or ".i386, is not currently supported, why?

A: Node.js 4.x and newer require a 64bit os for rpms. See issue #268


Q: Why have certain versions of platforms/releases stopped receiving updates to Node.js?

A: Unfortunately, newer versions of V8 require a modern compiler toolchain. On some platforms, such as ARM wheezy, that toolchain is not available. See issue #247


Q: Why is my Node.js version newer than the one of the script I’ve run?

A: Your package manager is probably installing a newer Node.js version from a different source. See issue #657


Q: What is the current status of IPv6 support?

A: See issue #170


Q: I cannot install Node.js on Debian Jessie or Ubuntu Trusty Tahr: GPG error, why?

A: See issue #1181

Requested Distributions

We, unfortunately, do not have the resources necessary to support and test the plethora of Linux releases in the wild, so we rely on community members such as yourself to get support on your favorite distributions! This is a list of releases that have been requested by the community. If you are interested in contributing to this project, this would be a great place to start!
