Introduction

Hello everyone, today I would like to share about “How to install Node.js v20.15.0 on Raspberry Pi”. I hope my following guide will be helpful to everyone.

To install Node.js on Ubuntu is relatively straightforward, but installing it on a Raspberry Pi, especially the latest version like v18.15.0, is not as simple. Today, I will guide you through the steps to install the latest version of Node.js on a Raspberry Pi. Let’s begin with the following steps.

Step by step

Step 1: Download the Nodejs installation file

First of all, you should access the Node.Js download link at here: Node.Js download. NodeJS Here, you should choose the installation file that matches your Raspberry Pi’s architecture. I am using a Raspberry Pi 4, so I will download the linux-arm64 version: node-v20.15.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz.

Right-click on the installation file you selected and choose “Copy Link Address” to copy the download link.

After you have the download link, go to your Raspberry Pi server and type the following command to download the installation file:

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.15.0/node-v20.15.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Step 2: Install NodeJs

After successfully downloading the installation file, run the following command to extract the file into a folder.

tar -xvf node-v20.15.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz

After successfully extracting the installation file into a folder, run the following command to copy necessary folder to the /usr/ directory.

sudo cp -r node-v20.15.0-linux-arm64/{bin,include,lib,share} /usr/

After successfully running the above command, check with the following command. If the output is as shown below, you have succeeded.

find /usr -name node

# result as the following
/usr/bin/node
/usr/include/node
/usr/share/doc/node

And finaly, we check version by running the following command.

node --version

Conclusion

I hope this explanation was clear and easy to understand for you to follow through the process.
