Hey! I'm working on an interactive Twitter bot using Node.js v8.0.0. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Server edition, running it as a plain server without any updates. It doesn't have a GUI installed and I'm not concerned about security patches. Could you share the old source list for this version?
Ubuntu 16.04 remains fully supported as it is an LTS release, so you don’t have to modify your sources.list file. You can set up node.js by checking the instructions on the GitHub page. -edit- Alternatively, you can try Snap, which is a simpler option compared to writing an installation script.
Thank you for your message! I see you're having issues with your home network.

I’ll guide you through it step by step. Start by installing Node.js using the command in your terminal: sudo apt install node. Once installed, you can write your JavaScript files and run them like scripts. Node.js works similarly to Python or Perl, so you can use it as a script replacement. For example, if you saved a Node.js file as hello_world.js with the command `node hello_world.js`, you can make it executable by running `chmod +x hello_world.js` and then execute it with `./hello_world.js`. This completes the setup.
You wanted to set up installation via apt because you depend on external sources for package updates. Using nvm, you can install from binaries on the site and also manage versions under your account without needing root access. It supports installing multiple Node versions and switching between them easily.
Could you clarify what you're referring to with the official instructions?
It’s not problematic at all, but using node only for the past year and a half with nvm has simplified things. For instance, AWS lambda runs on node 8.10 while our docker images use lts node. Switching between them is just as smooth as using nvm with 8.10. It also maintains all binaries and global npm packages separated, giving you a clean setup when changing versions. It’s similar to using venv during Python development.
