NodeSource's repository of scripts and package definitions for installing Node.js binaries on Linux distributions via apt and yum package managers. It provides the official NodeSource Node.js package repositories so users can install and update Node.js with their system package manager.
Use cases
- install nodejs on ubuntu via apt
- set up nodesource apt repository for node
- install specific node.js version on debian
- install nodejs on centos with yum
- upgrade node.js using system package manager
- script node.js installation on linux servers
When to choose
- you want to install or update Node.js on a Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL-family Linux system using apt or yum
- you need scripted, reproducible Node.js installation in provisioning or CI environments
- you want Node.js versions maintained and packaged by NodeSource rather than distro repos
When to avoid
- you are on macOS, Windows, or another non-Linux platform
- you prefer version managers like nvm, fnm, or volta for per-project Node.js versions
- you need the N|Solid commercial runtime rather than stock Node.js binaries
