How to install node.js in its latest version (12.x) by Ubuntu terminal?
I'm trying to install nodeJS on my Linux.However, even putting the codes for Version 12.x:
# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
The terminal only installs version 8.10.
When I run the command sudo apt-get install -y nodejs build-essential, it runs the processes and in the end it works:
nodejs is already the newest version (8.10.0~dfsg-2ubuntu0.4).
0 pacotes atualizados, 0 pacotes novos instalados, 0 a serem removidos e 22 não atualizados.
Could anyone explain the problem to me?

I install using Node version Manager, not least because the apt-get it does not always have the most current and instable version.
First in the terminal install the package using curl or wget, just run one of the commands:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
Make sure your installation is correct:
command -v nvm
Note: it is important to do this after closing and opening a new terminal.
List the versions of node:
nvm ls-remote
Install the version you want:
nvm install 10.16.3
I put version 10.16.3 because it is the most instable version according to nodejs documentation
Guy tries this command:
sudo apt install nodejs
Second option:
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install node --channel=12/stable --classic
