[ERROR] Node.js 20.x on amazonlinux:2023 Installation fail: GPG check FAILED

[timd73]

Installation of Node.js 20.x from nodesource fails on "GPG check FAILED" The exact same steps were working until yesterday (Jan 2 2024) - the Dockerfile has not changed.

The error is:

Distribution Information:

• OS: amazonlinux:2023 (Docker)
• Version: nodejs-20.10.0-1nodesource.x86_64.rpm
• Other info if applicable: Docker image amazonlinux:2023

Node Version:

• Node: Node.js v20.x

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

FROM amazonlinux:2023
RUN dnf remove -y nodejs npm
RUN dnf install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
RUN dnf install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

Expected behavior Installation succeeds, as it did until Jan 2 2024.

Update Using the following steps seems to fix the problem:

RUN curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -
RUN dnf install -y nodejs

I am not sure where the previous steps came from - perhaps when the nodesource "regular" install was not properly supporting amazonlinux:2023

If the old steps are invalid and the correct steps now work, perhaps this can be closed.

Updated the bug description with steps to solve the problem. Perhaps it's not a bug. Leaving open for someone on the nodesource team to review.

Experiencing the same issue on Node.js 18.x, nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch

[acastruc]

Same with 18.x on Rocky8 I tried

sudo yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
sudo yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1         

and this gave me the error

I changed it to

 sudo curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash -
 sudo dnf install -y nodejs

and that worked did not work. edit: worked (was missing sudo) Curious if there is a way to make it work with yum?

[renanfferreira]

I'm facing the same problem

[JesusPaz]

Now you need to use the script to install Node.js:

curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs

[renanfferreira]

This works, thank you

[maunzCache]

You should prefer dnf over yum in amazonlinux2023, thus make it

curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -
dnf install -y nodejs

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/package-management.html

I'm facing the same issue recently on AL2023 (since 2024, before it worked fine), and followed the instructions mentioned on https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/wiki/How-to-select-the-Node.js-version-to-install to pin to a specific node version.

Any help is appreciated.

RUN yum install -q -y https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm && \
  yum install -q -y nodejs-20.9.0-1nodesource --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

Seems like a duplicate of https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues/1755

[AngelicaFWhite]

Our Beanstalk deployment also started failing because of the same issue. original: sudo dnf upgrade -y command: sudo dnf install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_18.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y changed: command: curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash - command: dnf install -y nodejs

However it isn't installing node js 18.19.x How can change to request the newer version installation? Thank you for the support.

[tgy]

this is still an issue. i'm trying to install 21 on Rocky Linux 9 and I get this error as well.

@JesusPaz why did you close this?

[riosje]

@tgy what's the error? I just tried it and everything works.

run -it  rockylinux:9 bash
curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_21.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs

Installed:
  nodejs-2:21.6.1-1nodesource.x86_64

Complete!
[root@55c2d9a54553 /]# node -v
v21.6.1

[tgy]

sorry my bad @riosje it works now!
