Newer version 16 available: How to install NodeJS 16.x LTS on Ubuntu in 1 minute
Run these shell commands on your Ubuntu computer to install NodeJS 14.x:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Instead of setup_14.x you can also choose other versions like setup_12.x. However, using this method, you can’t install multiple versions of NodeJS in parallel.
