This script completes both the addition of the apt-get repository and adds the PGP key. To set up the current APT repository and add the PGP key to the system’s APT keychain, you need to run this command: # Download and setup the APT repository add the PGP key to the system’s APT keychain,

This step is necessary, as the default APT repository that gets called when you run apt-get install nodejs is severely outdated - it defaults to a Node.js v4 release line that is missing several large security updates. The first part of downloading the correct Node.js binary is to add the APT repository for Node.js Debian-based and add the associated PGP key to the APT keychain. Step 2: Downloading - Setting Up the Correct APT Repository Your environment is using a supported Ubuntu LTS distribution:

armhf (ARM 32-bit hard-float, ARMv7 and up: arm-linux-gnueabihf).

To install Node.js on Ubuntu, you will need to ensure that your system meets following requirements: Your environment is on a supported architecture: Step 1: Environment Setup - Ensure your system meets the needs of the install # Install Node.js from the Debian-based distributions repository # Adding the NodeSource APT repository for Debian-based distributions repository AND the PGP key for verifying packages If you just want to get Node.js installed on Ubuntu (specifically the Precise, Trusty, or Xenial distributions), and don’t need anything else other than the quick how, here are the two commands you need to run.

This guide covers installing Node on both the Ubutntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server distributions of Ubuntu, for any of the following versions: Precise Pangolin (12.04), Trusty Tahr (14.04), Xenial Xerus (16.04), Yakkety Yak (16.10) Step 0: TL DR - Quick and Instant Install

Once completed, you'll have Node.js installed and be ready to start building! In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to get Node.js installed quickly on Ubuntu. Installing Node.js is always going to be the first step to getting up and running with building applications with Node.js.

Apt install npm
