linux 更新node

Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node/<VERSION>/bin/node /usr/bin/nodejs
(NOTICE that the default installation for nodejs is in the /usr/bin/nodejs and not /usr/bin/node)

To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use

sudo n latest
To undo:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nodejs-legacy     # fix /usr/bin/node
sudo n rm 6.0.0     # replace number with version of Node that was installed
sudo npm uninstall -g n
