Distributions: Your distribution, identified as "wheezy", is not currently supported

[brilvio]

Hi there I using a Beaglebone Black with Debian wheezy.

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="7"
VERSION="7 (wheezy)"
ID=debian

And this is the error:

Confirming "wheezy" is supported...

• curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/wheezy/Release'

Your distribution, identified as "wheezy", is not currently supported, please contact NodeSource at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues if you think this is incorrect or would like your distribution to be considered for support

But in https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager says this:

Supported Debian versions:

Debian 7 / stable (wheezy)

@brilvio can you try this again, just in case it was some temporary network problem? If it still happens then I'm going to guess it's a proxy thing. Have a look at #9 to see some workaround suggestions and let us know how you go.

I'm having similar error however I'm using `http(s)_proxy`` variables in shell....

so, you could try running it as root and make sure your env vars are set in there or use sudo -E when doing it as an unprivileged user, the problem is that sudo doesn't pass along env vars by default.

[confiq]

Of course I was doing that. Anyway, I've re-check it and I can confirm it's working well now. IMHO we can close this.

sudo -E is now listed on the README

i am having this issue and i am root ... any ideas?

[chrislea]

What command specifically are you trying to run @BartManX ?

[geoidesic]

Same problem here: I ran the command
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
as shown here:

[chrislea]

We are not supporting Node 7.x on Debian Wheezy due to not having suitable compilers (we are not supporting Node 7.x on Ubuntu Precise for the same reason). The minimum supported releases for Node 7.x are Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Trusty. Hope this helps.

You can download bins from https://nodejs.org/en/download/

And then just tar -xf downloadet.files.arch.extention

ln -s /downloadet.files.arch.extention/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/node
ln -s /downloadet.files.arch.extention/usr/bin/npm /usr/bin/npm

node -v 
v8.9.1
