Here's the modified script with the executable bit set for you. Just extract it in a directory, open a terminal there, and runWhat it does is add their repo and their key to your software sources, so if you have Debian's older node.js installed, you'll see their 8.9.4 as an upgrade.Code: Select all
sudo ./setup_8.x
We could probably add it as an option to our package installer, but that would need a bit of discussion.
Hmmm...maybe I can use their build format instead of Sid's to get successful packages for 8.9.4. Launching build.
Code: Select all
sudo ./setup_version_number.x

sudo sh ./setup_version_number.x
EDIT: Well, it didn't work after all, it seemed like it'd worked but it didn't; nmp: coomand no found. So re-reading this thread I realized that node.js is in the test repo so I installed it using that and now it worked. I wanted latest which is 11 though, but guess 8 is ok too
