I was trying to install node js in my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS , First I have downloaded latest distribution from Nodejs_Official_Page_Link .It got downloaded at my Downloads folder.then I have copied it from Download folder to /usr/local/ Directory through following command:
sudo cp -r node-v9.11.1-linux-x64 /usr/local/
After that I have checked my /usr/local/ Directory and it showed me a folder name node-v9.11.1-linux-x64
After that I have tried to set the path through following command:
sudo nano /etc/environment
Then I have added :/usr/local/node-v9.11.1-linux-x64/bin in PATH
then I checked it through node --version and it showed me v9.11.1
& for npm --version it is 5.6.0
then I tried to run npm i -g node-static and it said permission error ,try it as root.I know it can be done with sudo then.
So my question is that /usr/local/ a correct choice to install Node-js or should I install it somewhere else?
Further I also want to know what is the recommended place to install mongodb?I am new to Ubuntu so want to go with the recommended/safe practices suggested by experienced developers.Thankyou!

I'm also new on Ubuntu and I installed node few weeks ago.
is that /usr/local a correct choice to install Node-js or should I
install it somewhere else ?
I think that /usr/bin/ is not a bad place to install nodeJs, however keep in mind that other users on your computer won't have access.
I am new to Ubuntu so want to go with the recommended/safe practices
suggested by experienced developers.
According to the documentation : https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions , you should ensure that you've complete all the "manual steps".
I suggest you to use nodesource github repository for automated installation.

If you want to run Node with manual installation, you should be able to fix your permission issues if you follow the steps described here : docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

Not yet, however I'm planning to use MongoDB for my next project. I recommend you to install using repertory. You have a sort of tutorial here : digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/…
