It looks like you have more than one of our repositories set up, and having tow is causing a problem. Please try running the command:

sudo rm -fv /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource*

and then re-run the installer script.

[aogilvie]

I also have this issue. After removing repos, I also removed (6.11) nodejs completely (as su). Tried the setup script again and got:

[root@localhost]# curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | bash -

Error downloading packages:
  2:nodejs-6.11.0-1nodesource.el7.centos.x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

As you can see it still tries to pull in 6.11. @plantain-00 I just stopped fannying around and curl the rpm directly from https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_7.x/el/7/x86_64/

[victor0801x]

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum install nodejs

[aogilvie]

Well that seems a bit aggressive but maybe yum clean metadata.

yum clean metadata
Eliminate all of the files which yum uses to determine the remote availability of
packages. Using this option will force yum to download all the metadata the next
time it is run.

I did not run that. Should some of this be in the rpm for updating though? I think spec file has a section for that.

[chrislea]

Unfortunately there's really no ideal way to handle this that I know of because of how yum caches metadata. But I think the yum clean all and then re-running the setup script should work.

[CShen-miao]

I have the same problem with you, this is due to the yum source, and the solution is as follows:

1. cd /etc/yum.repo.d

2.Change the yum source

1. yum clean all
2. curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
3. yum install -y nodejs

[aogilvie]

My point was to add yum clean metadata to the update section of the rpm spec file. That way, if the authors do change source or any other meta data, when users update or install they get the correct source.
