Update nodejs to latest version

Usually the installed nodejs by apt-get is very old, we may need to update it to newer version. n is the node version management tool which can run on any platform. But on my virtual ubuntu it doesn't work. It throws a error invalid version.

Finally, I find another way to install the latest nodejs.

Step 1: Add NodeJs PPA

First, you need to node.js PPA in our system provides by nodejs official website. We also need to install python-software-properties package if not installed already.

$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

Step 2: Install Node.js and NPM

After adding required PPA file lets install Node package. NPM will also be installed with node.js. This command will also install many other dependent packages on your system.

$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

Step 3: Check Node.js and NPM Version

After installing node.js verify and check the installed version. You can find more details about current version on node.js official website.

$ node -v 

v7.5.0
