Hi All, To install the latest(ish) nodejs from nodesource get the signin keys with:
curl -sSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add - then, after touching /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list, add the following to the newly created file: deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x stretch main deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x stretch main finally install nodejs with: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nodejs It works for ASCII and you'll get npm. Hope it helps. Cheers!
