This is a simple shell script that will install the latest version of NodeJs available to your raspberry pi on every all types of raspberry pis (zero|1|2|3|4) This also happens to work on other ARM6, ARM7, ARM64 and x86_64 linux computers.
I have yet to confirm, but there may be an issue on Jessy and Stretch, if you are running the older pi OS
First, you will need to install the latest version of NodeJs on your pi by going into your 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;
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 specificsudo node-install -v 4;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 4 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 5;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 5 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 6;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 6 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 7;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 7 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 8;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 8 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 9;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 9 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 10;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 10 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 11;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 11 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 12;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 12 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 13;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 13 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 14;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 14 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 15;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 15 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 16;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 16 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 17;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 17 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 18;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 18 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 19;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 19 you wish to installsudo node-install -v 20;
# then you will get prompted with which
# specific version of 20 you wish to installPlease note that this will work for EVERY raspberry pi running buster or greater.
