Errors encountered on my way to install Node.JS v8 on ubuntu

Posted on

when running apt-get install nodejs

You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgail-3-0 : Depends: libgtk-3-0 (= 3.20.9-1ubuntu2) but 3.18.9-1ubuntu4 is to be installed
nodejs : Depends: libuv1 (>= 1.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
python3-gi-cairo : Depends: python3-gi (= 3.22.0-1) but 3.20.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

to fix:  apt-get -f install

When trying to install nodejs again will only allow for node-legacy (v4)

to fix: 

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

 

finally at v8 locally
