o linux mint e lindo mas a ausencia de algumas atualizacoes entristecem o usuario
O Node é uma ferramenta incrivel, porém ele está muito desatualizado aqui no linux mint, se não conseguem trazer uma versão pelo menos LTS remova da loja por favor.
Follow these instructions to get this on the latest version: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md#manual-installation
This package is great but this is an old version. Refer here for installation: 'https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/'.
NodeJS is great but this is a very old version suggest go and download the latest version. Just Download it; and untar it, Tar -xvf nodejsversion. Then include it into the search path $PATH=PATH:/dir/to/nodejs/bin.
Works like a charm. 2 things worth mentioning though: 1) The runtime is called 'nodejs' and not 'node' like it is in other installations. 2) This does not come bundled with 'npm' (node package manager) for installing external packages. Search 'npm' and grab that as well.
Perfect language when I need to put together some simple websites quickly.
