This repository contains the instructions to install the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions via .rpm and .deb as well as their setup and support scripts.

If you're looking for NodeSource's low-impact Node.js performance monitoring platform, please get started here.

We'd like to inform you of important changes to our distribution repository nodesource/distributions.

What's New:

• Package Changes: DEB and RPM packages are now available under the nodistro codename. We no longer package the installer coupled to specific versions. This means you can install Node.js on almost any distro that meets the minimum requirements.
• Installation Scripts: The installation scripts setup_XX.x are no longer supported and are not needed anymore, as the installation process is straightforward for any RPM and DEB distro.
• Questions and concerns: To resolve questions and discuss concerns about this update we've opened this discussion space New distribution's packages

NodeSource will continue to maintain the following architectures and may add additional ones in the future.

• amd64 (64-bit)
• armhf (ARM 32-bit hard-float, ARMv7 and up: arm-linux-gnueabihf)
• arm64 (ARM 64-bit, ARMv8 and up: aarch64-linux-gnu)

NOTE: If you are looking to run Node.js in a non-supported Linux version take a look to Node.js Unofficial Builds

If you have root access, you can omit the 'sudo' command as you already have full administrative privileges.

1. Download and import the Nodesource GPG key

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

2. Create deb repository

NODE_MAJOR=20
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

Optional: NODE_MAJOR can be changed depending on the version you need.

NODE_MAJOR=16
NODE_MAJOR=18
NODE_MAJOR=20
NODE_MAJOR=21

3. Run Update and Install

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

To completely remove Node.js installed from the deb.nodesource.com package methods above:

apt-get purge nodejs &&\
rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list &&\
rm -r /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

NodeSource will continue to maintain the following architectures and may add additional ones in the future.

• x86_64 (64-bit)
• arm64 (ARM 64-bit, ARMv8 and up: aarch64-linux-gnu)

NOTE: If you are looking to run Node.js in a non-supported Linux version take a look to Node.js Unofficial Builds

The Nodesource RPM package signing key is available here: https://rpm.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key

If you have root access, you can omit the 'sudo' command as you already have full administrative privileges.

sudo yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_21.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
sudo yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

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

sudo yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_18.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
sudo yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

sudo yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_16.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
sudo yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

Optional: install build tools

To compile and install native addons from npm you may also need to install build tools:

yum install gcc-c++ make
# or: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

To completely remove Node.js installed from the rpm.nodesource.com package methods above:

yum remove nodejs &&\
rm -r /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource*.repo &&\
yum clean all

We've created some scripts to make easy the repo configuration.

This only works from Node16 forwards

change the version as needed ./nsolid_setup_deb.sh 20

curl -SLO https://deb.nodesource.com/nsolid_setup_deb.sh
chmod 500 nsolid_setup_deb.sh
./nsolid_setup_deb.sh 21
apt-get install nodejs -y

change the version as needed ./nsolid_setup_deb.sh 20

curl -SLO https://rpm.nodesource.com/nsolid_setup_rpm.sh
chmod 500 nsolid_setup_rpm.sh
./nsolid_setup_rpm.sh 21
yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

Q: How do I migrate to the new repo?

A: Please take a look at wiki

Q: How do I pin to specific versions of Node.js?

A: Please take a look at wiki

Q: Why is there no folder listing available when I visit the following URLs? https://deb.nodesource.com/node_XX.x/pool/main/n/

https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/

A: This issue may arise because some users utilize the above URLs to download specific versions of Node.js or create mirrors of our repository.
