Installing NodeJS
Installing on distributions with a compatible version of node
If your distribution ships with a compatible version of node(stable, >=10), you can install it with your distribution's package manager.
sudo apt install nodejs
You can verify the version with
node --verion
Installing on distributions with an incompatible version of node
If the version provided by your disribution is not a new enough version, is a nightly build (such as Arch), you will need to get a compatible version from nodejs.org and add the binaries to your path.
wget https://nodejs.org/dist/path/to/download.tar.xz
tar -xf node-v10.something.tar.xz
Add the /bin folder to your path (and the path of the satyr user), or symlink the binaries.
sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/node /usr/bin
sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/npm /usr/bin
sudo ln -sf node-v10.something/bin/npx /usr/bin
Alternatively, use a tool like nvm to manage your current node version.
