Install Node.js via binary archive

Download: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

With Linux

Unzip the binary archive to any directory you wanna install Node, I use /usr/local/lib/nodejs

VERSION=v10.15.0
DISTRO=linux-x64
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/nodejs
sudo tar -xJvf node-$VERSION-$DISTRO.tar.xz -C /usr/local/lib/nodejs

Set the environment variable ~/.profile, add below to the end

# Nodejs
VERSION=v10.15.0
DISTRO=linux-x64
export PATH=/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-$VERSION-$DISTRO/bin:$PATH

Refresh profile

. ~/.profile

Test installation using

$ node -v

$ npm version

$ npx -v

the normal output is:

➜  node -v

➜  npm version
