node osmc.md

Install nvm:

run last version of nvm script in [https://github.com/creationix/nvm#install-script]:

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.5/install.sh | bash

Install latest node with nvm

$ nvm install node

you must see something like:

Downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.7.0/node-v8.7.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz... ######################################################################## 100,0% Computing checksum with sha256sum Checksums matched! Now using node v8.7.0 (npm v5.4.2) Creating default alias: default -> node (-> v8.7.0)

run this last 3 lines of .bashrc in this same shell or close shell and open a new one:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

Done!
