  • Try to add verbose mode and also increase timeout, also it's possible that you are behind a proxy and you are not allowed to access internet. Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 16:42
  • @RedaSalih - Yeah I am behind the proxy but I have updated proxy settings. Is there alternate way to install node. Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 16:50

There is plenty of options to download node binary and install from there:

As GAD3R suggest you can use curl,

Or you can also install via package manager, in this link information for different Linux distributions: NodeJS Package Manager Installation

Please also refer to this section for more info NodeJS Download

E.g: apt install nodejs

  • It's not about only downloading, I want to install in VM via commnad prompt. Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 16:58
  • package-manager will handle the download and install for you? If you are in Linux-debian distro could you try apt install nodejs You could also check If you can install nvm Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 17:02
  • It is saying apt: invalid flag install for both nodejs and nvm. Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 17:07
  • Try this, taken from another answer: `sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get install -f`` askubuntu.com/a/141374 Then. try to do installation again Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 17:20
  • apt-get not working. I tried with yum, first one worked, for second it said no such option -f. Commented Jan 15, 2021 at 17:26

Use curl:

curl https://nodejs.org/dist/v15.6.0/node-v15.6.0-linux-x64.tar.gz --output nodejs.tar.gz

  • @ArkadiuszDrabczyk - I am using VDI not local machine. In VDI browser I can access sites only which is allowed not like news wallpaper or node.org etc. In the same VDI I have VM. I needed to do few changes related to proxy, I did. Now I am expecting I should be able to install nodejs. Many things getting failed which is related to downloading something. I am using Putty.
