The installation script that you downloaded needs to be adjusted so that it knows about tina being a bionic release.

First, download the script: wget https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x

Then, open the file in your favorite editor. Scroll down until you find a section that begins with check_alt. Look for a line that looks like this:

check_alt "Linux Mint" "tessa" "Ubuntu" "bionic"

Add this line right below it:

check_alt "Linux Mint" "tina" "Ubuntu" "bionic"

After saving, run chmod +x setup_10.x. Now you can run this script as normal.

    $ wget deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x , works for me. Then you need to $ sudo ./setup_10.x and $ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Commented Sep 20, 2019 at 18:55
  • This is a shame. Years and years later, it's equal. All that to say hello world. Young coders, move out of node, it's garbage. Commented Oct 8, 2019 at 23:26
