Distributions: You don't appear to be running a supported machine architecture: ppc64le.

Hi..
I tried to install nodejs on my machine using this command:
curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo bash -
and it gave me this error:

I run this command:
rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release
this is the result:

Is there a way to install node.js on this system? Thank you for your help.

** Update
So I run this command :
curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -x -
and got this:

seems this system is not supported right?

We don't make rpm packages for power pc architectures. You can install Node directly from the foundation's binary distributions however. Hope this helps!

@chrislea thank you sir.

What's the reason for not producing packages for ppc and/or aarch64?

[chrislea]

@lag-linaro our build system is in AWS and we don't have access to the hardware needed to do it there.

How about:

Yes, we may look into those. It will also depend somewhat on distribution support, though I doubt that will be an impasse. Unfortunately we still won't have any way to deal with ppc support even if those do work for ARM.

Should I start another Issue specifying aarch64 support?
