NodeJs-Raspberry-Pi

This is a simple shell script that will install NodeJs v10.x. The "Latest version" of NodeJs version of 10.x in the raspberry pi on every version of raspberry pis (zero|1|2|3) This also happens to work on a Beaglebone and other ARM6 or ARM7 linux computers.

First, you will need to install the latest version of NodeJs on your pi by going into you Raspberry Pi zero|1|2|3's terminal, and running:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audstanley/NodeJs-Raspberry-Pi/master/Install-Node.sh | sudo bash
node -v
exit

Once you have run the initial installer, you can install different versions at any time by opening a new terminal and typing:

sudo node-install -v 4.9.1; # if you want to be specific

or

sudo node-install -v 4;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 4 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 5;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 5 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 6;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 6 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 7;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 7 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 8;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 8 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 9;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 9 you wish to install

or

sudo node-install -v 10;
# then you will get prompted with which 
# specific version of 10 you wish to install

Please note that this will work for EVERY raspberry pi.

If you have installed any global npm modules, and change your systems version of nodejs with node-install then node-install will reinstall your npm modules for you.

If you want to keep your Raspberry Pi up to date with the Latest Version of Node at all times, edit your /etc/crontab file:

sudo nano /etc/crontab

Add this line to the bottom of your crontab:

0 22 1,7,14,21 * * root node-install -a;

This will update your raspberry pi with the latest version of NodeJs on days 1st, 7st, 14th, and 21st of every month at 10:00pm.
