1) The first message was because n
with no parameters shows you the list of downloaded versions, and you did not have any yet.
Error: no installed version
2) The second error is because there was no release of node with version number 7.1.2.
Error: invalid version 7.1.2
https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/
(You could try n lts
to take the version number out of the equation.)
root@242d9dedbea0:/# n lts
Error: invalid version
root@242d9dedbea0:/# n latest
Error: invalid version
Ok, still have a problem!
Is it a public base docker image, so I can try reproducing?
Does curl https://nodejs.org/dist/
get the html page with the list of versions?
I have an issue with https (proxy issue). Only http works:
root@f58cdde2b2d5:/# curl https://nodejs.org/dist/ ^C root@f58cdde2b2d5:/# curl http://nodejs.org/dist/
../ latest/ 04-Jul-2018 18:08 - latest-argon/ 30-Mar-2018 03:32 - latest-boron/ 12-Jun-2018 23:26 - latest-carbon/ 12-Jun-2018 23:26 -
Issues #430 talks about setting HTTP_PROXY
and HTTPS_PROXY
. This is used by curl
with some details in this stack overflow topic.
Otherwise there is an environment variable to override the node mirror, but then of course you are using http and not https. Can try with a one-off command like:
NODE_MIRROR=http://nodejs.org/dist/ n --lts
nice, that works!
root@703ee01208b7:/# NODE_MIRROR=http://nodejs.org/dist/ n --lts 8.11.3
root@703ee01208b7:/# NODE_MIRROR=http://nodejs.org/dist/ n 7.2.1
install : node-v7.2.1
mkdir : /usr/local/n/versions/node/7.2.1
fetch : http://nodejs.org/dist/v7.2.1/node-v7.2.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
######################################################################## 100.0% installed : v7.2.1
The env NODE_MIRROR
also worked for me.
But after a bit digging i found out, that my curl
did not support https somehow(?).
curl -V
did not contain the https protocol.
So i compiled it with the correct support for my platform: https://askubuntu.com/questions/475670/how-to-build-curl-with-the-latest-openssl, https://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html
I used the default openssl package for my platform (Ubuntu 16.04) and these commands made it work:
sudo apt install libssl-dev
./configure --with-ssl --with-libssl-prefix=/usr/local/ssl
make
sudo make install
But it doesn't work for me, what can i do? root@localhost:~# NODE_MIRROR=http://nodejs.org/dist/ n --lts 10.13.0 root@localhost:~# NODE_MIRROR=http://nodejs.org/dist/ n 10.13.0
install : node-v10.13.0
Error: invalid version 10.13.0
root@localhost:~#
@chengjaun 1) Do you know if you are behind a proxy? This thread turned out to be about proxy issues. One way to check is run a curl command directly so can see the errors if it is blocked:
curl https://nodejs.org/dist/
2) What architecture are you on? Please post the results of uname -a
which is how n
finds out.
Thanks for your answer, I have removed the node of old version and installed one of version number 8.11.1
Now I want to run this cmd: npm install --save @google/earthengine
but it give me this: npm WARN root@1.0.0 No description npm WARN root@1.0.0 No repository field.
Do you have such a problem? My machine is root@localhost:~# uname -a Linux localhost 4.4.0-66-generic #87-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 3 15:27:09 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
Those two warnings are normal when installing into a new npm module just created by npm init
. npm is warning that those fields in the package.json
have not been supplied yet. They do not indicate a problem with npm or node (or n
).
Are you still having problems with n
?
Thanks for your help, there is no problems now.
An explanation for people getting "invalid version" for lts or latest, but able to install node 8 and below.
n
uses the pre-built binaries from nodejs, and 32-bit builds for Linux were dropped for node 10. If unname -a
shows i686 then this probably affects you.
nodejs/build#885
Node 8 is still being supported, and a convenience for installing the newest version is:
n 8
This issue has not had any activity in over six months. It isn't likely to get acted on due to this report.
Feel free to open a new issue if it comes up again, with new information and renewed interest.
Thank you for your contributions.
I am getting this exact same issue on an Ubuntu Virtual Machine. I tried curl and it is not proxy related. My uname -a outputs 686 because I donot want to install or need to use 64bit.
