Installing Node.js 12 on Linux Mint 19
When I have to install anything, I like doing it using apt instead of downloading a tar file. Unfortunately, Node.js isn't available in any default repo on Mint, so here is how to configure and install it:
Configuring Node.js PPA
First of all, install python-software-properties to better manage your repositories.
sudo apt-get install curl python-software-properties
Then add the latest (as of today) release repo:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo bash -
If you want the LTS version, the command is:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
Installing Node.js
Just like any other package:
sudo apt-get install nodejs
Verifying installation
This package also install NPM, sรณ just run the following commands to check the version installed:
node -v
npm -v
