Install node.js on Ubuntu (via npm) - Zhara - 05-10-2016
I needed the latest version of node.js (6.x) on my new pine64. When I installed node.js via apt-get, the 4.x version was installed.
So this is, what I did to get node.js 6.x:
First I installed npm:
> sudo apt-get install npm
After that I could install node.js via npm
> sudo npm i node-linux-arm64 -g
Checking the version:
> node -v
v6.1.0
Done
#nodejs #node.js

Do you think the instructions on this page will work with the Pine64? They also include MongoDB..

Some parts of that guide might be helpful, but maybe you should not always rely on that and adapt it to your needs.
As far as I have seen, this uses a quite old version of node! So I am not sure, if you really want to go this way. I guess it is more secure to use latest available versions (at least in my case, I wanted node with latest ES6-features).
Be sure to always install AMD64 packages(!).

Excellent! Thank you, I will! :-)

You probably need add an updated repository. I remember having this issue with the raspberry pi the default repositories included the older package.
Following these instrutructions on rasp pi work for me https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

On Debian I am now installing it this way:
# wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.4.0/node-v6.4.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz
# tar -xvf node-v6.4.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz
# cd node-v6.4.0-linux-arm64
# sudo cp -R * /usr/local/
Then you should get:
# node -v
v6.4.0
# npm -v
3.10.3
