How to upgrade Node js version to 0.12.4 on Ubuntu

Question

I want to upgrade Node JS version on Ubuntu.

I tried many commands but its version is still the older i.e v0.10.37.

I tried:

sudo npm install -g n
sudo n install 0.12.4
sudo n use 0.12.4

Also tried with nvm but non of them works for me. How can I upgrade Node Js version to 0.12.4?

Answer 1

Use npm in order to upgrade node

First Clean the cache and try

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 0.12.4

Then create a symbolic link(It is needed only sometimes, first try with these three commands. If it doesnot work add this.)

It will be updated to 0.12.4 Version.
