[HLeithner]

What's the best way to install/update node on debian?

[dgrammatiko]

If you have snap: sudo snap install node --classic --channel=18
if not apt-get update && apt-get install snapd then the above command

[HLeithner]

I decided todo the offical way using https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

@HLeithner just make sure you go with 18. The 16 on the main repo is ok as the code is expected to be used from devs so switching directly to 18 (skipping 16 that has a 6 or so more months till EOL) would forced more people to update their node. But internal tooling is ok to use 18 (one less update for October)

[HLeithner]

ok, I also wanted to ask this^^

@HLeithner fyi: #37830

[Hackwar]

This is still not really the way I like it, but anyway. My big problem right now is, that the node:16-alpine docker image has npm 8.5.5 installed, while our package.json requires npm 8.6.0. That means we get an error at the beginning of each npm build. Is there a reason for using npm 8.6.0 as requirement instead of 8.5.5? I don't care which way we go, but I want that error to be gone...

[dgrammatiko]

@Hackwar #37830 sets npm min to 8.5.5
