I tried to upgrade node 6.x to latest stable. I tried few methods with apt-get, nvm, npm and nothing helped.



Why I cannot get latest stable node on Ubuntu 16.04 as simple as:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs


How can I get latest stable node on Ubuntu 16.04?



here my terminal copy-paste:

          I've just tried my instructions on debian raspberry pi and result is:



          pi@192:/ $ nodejs -v
          v8.10.0
          pi@192:/ $ npm -v
          5.6.0
