Upgrading nodejs in ubuntu 14.04

My machine has 5.x installed and had lot of trouble updating it to 8.x. Below are the steps I followed to upgrade nodejs from 5.x to 8.x #add the new source list sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 68576280  sudo apt-add-repository "deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_8.x $(lsb_release -sc) main" sudo apt-get update #Remove the previous installation sudo apt-get purge nodejs npm  #Verify if proper version is going to be installed apt-cache policy <package> #Install new version sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
