I am trying to update node on UBUNTU (version 22.04.4 LTS) and have followed the official procedure on their site:
# installs nvm (Node Version Manager)curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash# download and install Node.js (you may need to restart the terminal)nvm install 21# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environmentnode -v # should print `v21.7.3`# verifies the right NPM version is in the environmentnpm -v # should print `10.5.0`At first everything seemed OK, giving me the exact versions of both node and npm. But after closing and reopening the terminal it gives me the version of node: v23.0.0-nightly2024071586415e4688 and as npm version says:
npm warn cli npm v10.8.2 does not support Node.js v23.0.0-nightly2024071586415e4688. This version of npm supports the following node versions: `^18.17.0 || >=20.5.0`. You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/.10.8.2How can such a thing happen if I have copied and pasted exactly the commands the official website says to use???How can I solve it? I've tried deleting and repeating the same procedure but I get the same result as above, I've tried restarting the pc and repeating with a newer version but nothing, and I've tried the same with an older version...I always get the same problem!
