尝试使用nodejs时没有输出

Question

I installed node on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine with:

apt-get install node

However, when I run

node -v

there is no output.

I then tried apt-get install nodejs, and when I run nodejs -v I get v0.10.25.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong to get node working.

My PHP script requires node.js and my check keeps failing:

if(preg_match("/^v\d+.\d+.\d+$/", `node -v`) === 0){
    exit_json([
        "error" => "Node isn't installed on this machine."
    ]);
}

How can I correctly install node.js on 14.04? I used digital ocean's tutorial.

Try install like this :

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
