Install node.js on Ubuntu (via npm)

[Zhara]

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
