The Old Instructions

NOTE: The Ubunto repositories serve up an outdated version of Node.js. (v10.19.0)

Node-Red 2 requires v12... (and apparently, soon to require newer than that...)

Getting nodejs v12

To determine what version you actually have once it's installed:

  • nodejs -v

Anywho...

  • sudo apt install nodejs -y
  • sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
  • sudo apt install npm -y
  • sudo npm install npm@latest -g
    • NO! DO NOT UPDATE NPM!
    • (Doesn't actually seem to change anything on Debian... Updates to 8.3.0 on Ubuntu.)
