Distributions: Node8 on Debian 10?

Created on 28 Nov 2019  路  1Comment  路  Source: nodesource/distributions

Hey, I have a Debian 10.2 no DE machine and I need to install Node8 to get MineOS working. Problem is that I'm pretty sure it won't work. I already had Debian 10.1 installed two times and it didn't work.

these are the commands I used:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash - apt-get -y install nodejs

node --version and I got 10.5. blah blah blah.

I got the commands from the official mineos wiki.

If anyone knows a workaround to get node8 on Debian, please share your fix with me :(

I'm decently familiar with the Linux environment but I don't think I'm great at troubleshooting lol.

Have a great day!

If you have installed higher versions of NodeJS in the past, you may have to remove them from your APT Sources /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list and completely uninstall NodeJS before using those commands to install Node 8, as higher versions available will take priority.

apt remove nodejs && apt autoremove

apt install -y nodejs
