NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions
This repository contains the instructions to install the NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions via .rpm and .deb as well as their setup and support scripts.
If you're looking for NodeSource's low-impact Node.js performance monitoring platform, please get started here.
New Update ⚠️
We'd like to inform you of important changes to our distribution repository nodesource/distributions.
What's New:
- Package Changes: DEB and RPM packages are now available under the
nodistrocodename. We no longer package the installer coupled to specific versions. This means you can install Node.js on almost any distro that meets the minimum requirements. - Installation Scripts: The installation scripts
setup_XX.xare no longer supported and are not needed anymore, as the installation process is straightforward for any RPM and DEB distro. - Questions and concerns: To resolve questions and discuss concerns about this update we've opened this discussion space New distribution's packages
