[RESOLVED] Troubles installing npm/nodejs

[Aestriex]

Hello, I am currently on KDE Kubuntu Plasma 22.04 and cannot figure out how to install npm/nodejs on its most recent version so I can code React apps. I've tried running simple sudo apt-get install nodejs and sudo apt install npm, however, those only install outdated versions of the software.

I cannot figure out how to install npm/nodejs from the nodejs website for my system.

Thank you for any help in advance.

After you have downloaded the zipped archive from their site (node-v18.12.1-linux-x64.tar.xz), follow their instructions: Installing Node.js via binary archive

Hello, I tried this, and it is still not working. Is there anything else I can do to try and fix the issue?

Did you encounter problems with the instructions? If so, which step(s)? Or did the instructions work (no errors), but you can't launch (?) the application?

I had errors running Step 2, and Step 3 did not output anything.

I've downloaded it from the main website, unzipped it with Dolphin, and then tried running node -v in console, but it outputs: "Command 'node' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install nodejs"

Before downloading it, I attempted to run node -v, and it said /usr/bin/lib: command node not found

I removed the package I downloaded and it only outputs "Command 'node' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install nodejs" now

Not sure if this information helps.
