The NodeSource PPA provides the latest stable Node.js releases. To install the latest version (currently v20.6.1), run the following commands:

  1. Update Package List: sudo apt-get update

    /sudo apt update

    • This command updates the list of available packages from the repositories.

  2. Install Dependencies: sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg

    • Installs necessary dependencies like certificates, curl, and gnupg.

  3. Create Keyring Directory: sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings

    • Creates a directory for storing GPG keys.

  4. Add Node.js GPG Key:

     bashCopy codecurl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
    • Fetches the Node.js GPG key and stores it in the keyring directory.

  5. Set Node.js Version: NODE_MAJOR=20

    • Sets the desired Node.js version (in this case, version 20).

  6. Add Node.js Repository:

     bashCopy codeecho "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
    • Adds the Node.js repository to the sources list.

  7. Update Package List Again: sudo apt-get update

    • Refreshes the package list to include the newly added Node.js repository.

  8. Install Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

    • Finally, installs Node.js and its package manager, npm.

These commands ensure that you have the latest Node.js version installed on your Ubuntu system. Make sure to update the version number (NODE_MAJOR) as needed for your project.

IF you want to just copy and paste . Here is the code

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