Distributions: fedora-release-23-1.noarch

[LaKing]

I would like my distribution to be considered for support .-)

Fedora 23 is supported for Node 4.2.0 and higher. The 0.10 line is considered legacy now and is only being supported for really critical security issues.

@chrislea Trying to run the following on Fedora 23 seems to default to 0.10. Is there a way to change that?

[lbradley@localhost ~]$ sudo curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash -

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to say.

[chrislea]

Yes please check out the installation instructions here. You use different setup scripts depending on which version you want to install. Hope this helps!

[lukasbradley]

@chrislea Thank you so much for the response. I read that page, and am embarrased to say I thought it was only for RHEL/CENTOS.

When trying to run the script directly, I got the following error:

## Downloading release setup RPM...

+ mktemp
+ curl -sL -o '/tmp/tmp.3BlR6h6inY' 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/fc/23/x86_64/nodesource-release-fc23-1.noarch.rpm'

## Installing release setup RPM...

+ rpm -i --nosignature --force '/tmp/tmp.3BlR6h6inY'
*error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Inappropriate ioctl for device)*
Error executing command, exiting

I was running as root, and didn't have a lock on rpm. So I just downloaded and installed the rpm manually and it worked. (Included in case anyone else has the same issue.)

wget https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/fc/23/x86_64/nodesource-release-fc23-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -i nodesource-release-fc23-1.noarch.rpm

Thanks for your help.

You can install the package with dnf. .)

dnf -y install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/fc/23/x86_64/nodesource-release-fc23-1.noarch.rpm

[LaKing]

Here is a little bash script to help out here. .)

## get some variables
source /etc/os-release
ARCH=$(uname -m)

## get the listing
curl -s https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/fc/$VERSION_ID/$ARCH/ | grep 'href="nodejs-' > /tmp/nodeversion

## we will update this variable
nodejs_ver=''

## local variables we use
_checkcount=0
_checknum=0
_check=''

## process 
while read line
do
    if ! [[ "${line:16:1}" == "d" ]]
    then
    ## substract the version from that listing
    _check=${line:16:7}
    _checknum=$(echo $_check | tr '.' '0' | tr '-' '0' )

    if [ "$_checknum" -gt "$_checkcount" ]
    then
        ## update version number, as it seems to be the highest so far
        _checkcount=$_checknum
        nodejs_ver=$_check
    fi
    fi

done < /tmp/nodeversion

echo "latest node version is $nodejs_ver according to nodesource"

node_ver=0
if [ -f /bin/node ]
then
    node_ver=$(/bin/node --version)
fi
## check if we have the latest version
if [ "$node_ver" != "v${nodejs_ver:0:-2}" ]
then
    if [ -f /bin/node ]
    then
    dnf -y remove nodejs
    fi
    rpm_url='https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_5.x/fc/'$VERSION_ID'/'$ARCH'/nodejs-'$nodejs_ver'nodesource.fc'$VERSION_ID'.'$ARCH'.rpm'
    echo "dnf -y install $rpm_url"
    dnf -y install $rpm_url
fi

The ioctl issues go away for me when I insert sudo in from of the bash command from the installation instructions...

[damijanc]

Like @honza said, putting sudo in front of bash fixes the problem.

curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
