Hi All,

To install the latest(ish) nodejs from nodesource get the signin keys with:

curl -sSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo
apt-key add -

then, after touching /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list, add the
following to the newly created file:

deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x stretch main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x stretch main

finally install nodejs with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

It works for ASCII and you'll get npm.

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

Antonio
