I have downloaded node v5 for Linux on the *node website and found some instructions on how to Install a tar.gz file but this file ends with tar.xz and I can't find any instructions for that. Please help. I have also tried sudo apt-get install which installs a very old version of Node.

  • .gz and .xz are just different compression. The instructions to install will be the same once you have untarred the package. If you want, you can get the corresponding .gz file from nodejs.org/dist/v4.4.2 Commented Apr 5, 2016 at 16:21

  • You should never pipe into bash. You should first check out the code you downloaded and only then execute it. Commented Nov 19, 2019 at 19:36
