Support for Ubuntu Utopic (14.10)

[rvagg]

We won't be officially supporting Utopic until it's released by Canonical, towards the end of October. In the meantime, the Trusty binaries should work fine, simply run this as root to try it out:

apt-get update && apt-get install curl apt-transport-https -y
curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo 'deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
echo 'deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node trusty main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
apt-get update && apt-get install nodejs -y
node -v && npm -v

Additionally, to support building native add-ons:

apt-get install build-essential python -y

To confirm a full, working installation:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/test | bash -

[tibraga]

When I executed the second command, happen the bellow error:

root@tbmachado-Vostro-3560:~/git/hu-b2b# curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | apt-key add -
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

The version of my ubuntu is:

Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

[rvagg]

Can you try this again please and let me know if it's working for you or not? We apparently had a problem with the key availability for a short period.

Also, since you're on trusty you don't need to do the full thing I listed above which are for Utopic, the next version of Ubuntu (14.10) which is currently in Beta. Just do the normal install:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -

[misterzik]

Thank you very much, This fixed my issues & was quite easier from other docs online

"curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -"

I followed first steps, and failed to pass the first test, this is what i got;

Running test ...

• npm test

[email protected] test /_test-node-install
npm start; node test.js

[email protected] start /_test-node-install
node server.js &

Cleaning up ...

After re-installing with >" curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash - "
everything was solved. Thanks rvagg, save me time!!!

[jadsonlourenco]

@rvagg Thank you, worked perfectly on Ubuntu 14.10, which will be officially launched this week.

[shuhaowu]

14.10 has now been launched. Can we use this?

[rvagg]

indeed you can, debs are in place, the setup script should just pick them up!

[viniciuspires]

The PPA provided by Nodesource is still downloading the following version:

pires@orion:~$ node --version
v0.10.25

Although NodeJS' website states that v0.10.33 is the current version.
Any idea if this is going to be updated soon on the PPA? My company has a lot of projects relying on node modules that needs updating for new funcionalities, and the PPA you created has been saving a lot of work for us now, I don't want to make everyone drop it and install it manually...

Thanks in advance.

[rvagg]

@viniciuspires perhaps you have an install conflict here somewhere? I don't believe the NodeSource repo even has binaries for v0.10.25 available for any distro so that shouldn't have come from us. Try doing an apt-get purge nodejs; apt-get purge nodejs-legacy; just in case, then run curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash - to run the setup again, then apt-get install nodejs to get it.

[viniciuspires]

@rvagg When I curl the setup and pipe to bash, at the end of the operation I'm getting the message:

## Confirming "trusty" is supported...

+ curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/trusty/Release'

## Your distribution, identified as "trusty", is not currently supported, please contact NodeSource at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues if you think this is incorrect or would like your distribution to be considered for support

On Ubuntu 14.04. When running sudo apt-get install nodejs again I still get:

pires@orion:~$ nodejs --version
v0.10.25

[rvagg]

dpkg -l | grep node - what shows up for this? you must have a conflicting package, or a conflicting binary install from somewhere else: which nodejs?

[Volox]

@rvagg Sorry it was my fault, i was using https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_dev instead of https://deb.nodesource.com/setup.

[viniciuspires]

pires@orion:~$ dpkg -l | grep node
ii  nodejs                                                0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1                              i386         evented I/O for V8 javascript

pires@orion:~$ which node
/usr/bin/node

[rvagg]

@viniciuspires that's not our package, I think that's the native Ubuntu one. Remove it and run our setup again via curl and then npm install nodejs.

[viniciuspires]

Same message:

## Confirming "trusty" is supported...

+ curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/trusty/Release'

## Your distribution, identified as "trusty", is not currently supported, please contact NodeSource at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues if you think this is incorrect or would like your distribution to be considered for support

:/

[rvagg]

@viniciuspires are you behind a proxy? can you curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/node/dists/trusty/Release from that server and get a response?

[viniciuspires]

Yes, I am. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.

PS.: I get the same result in the browser.

[rvagg]

right, I think this is about #20 and #22, we need to get that sorted still

[viniciuspires]

@rvagg Ha! The problem was really the *_proxy variables that were being lost at sudo. Although, sudo -E solved the problem, after that:

pires@orion:~$ nodejs --version
v0.10.33

Suggestion: the install command at the documentation could change from
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash - to
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo -E bash -

Assuming that most companies have proxies and people tend to not remember that the environment variables won't be kept by sudo without the -E option.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

@rvagg

We won't be officially supporting Utopic until it's released by Canonical, towards the end of October.

Well, it is released for some time now, when will it be oficially supported (or the docs get updated)?

[chrislea]

Apologies, I'll check if we need to update the docs, but builds for Utopic have been in the repo ever since it was released. You should be able to install it just as you would for Trusty or any other supported distro.

[carstenhag]

@chrislea Sorry for not being specific, see the revision comparison. It links to this issue; it's probably not nodesource's fault but you could have closed this issue nevertheless :)

[dandv]

https://github.com/nodesource/distributions still doesn't mention 14.10. Is it supported now? When I follow the installation steps at https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions, I end up with v10.0.25 because of the failures below. I'm not behind a proxy.

[chrislea]

@dandv Ubuntu Utopic hit the end of it's supported release schedule in July of 2015 (see here). Once a distro stops being supported by Canonical, we can't support it either. Sorry!
