oh interesting :-) I'll try that next time. I'm never sure how to install and upgrade node.
I think I will try that next time.
It's more minimal.

Usually I'm following https://github.com/creationix/nvm which basically boils down to

  • curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
    or
  • wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.2/install.sh | bash
    ... they also have some more notes about gotchas that might occur on windows or sometimes macOSX

What I like is, that later - after a new node release - i can use nvm to easily upgrade to the next version.

I currently get

which node
# /home/serapath/.nvm/versions/node/v7.6.0/bin/node
