Update Node.js with NVM (Node Version Manager)
- Start by updating the package repository with the command:
sudo apt update
- Install NVM using the curl command:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
Alternatively, you use wget and run the command:
wget -q0- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
- Close and reopen the terminal for system to recognize the changes or run the command:
source ~/.bashrc
- Then, verify if you have successfully installed NVM:
nvm --version
- Before upgrading Node.js, check which version you have running on the system:
