Error in installing LTS version after trying latest version failure

[Charlesmpc]

Hello everyone,

I faced an issue when installing LTS version nodejs.

[ec2-user@phoenix ~]$ curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo bash -

## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 16.x repo...

Inspecting system...

• rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release || rpm -q --whatprovides centos-release || rpm -q --whatprovides cloudlinux-release || rpm -q --whatprovides sl-release || rpm -q --whatprovides fedora-release
• uname -m

Confirming "el7-x86_64" is supported...

• curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_16.x/el/7/x86_64/nodesource-release-el7-1.noarch.rpm'

Downloading release setup RPM...

• mktemp
• curl -sL -o '/tmp/tmp.SunWxdtvqt' 'https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_16.x/el/7/x86_64/nodesource-release-el7-1.noarch.rpm'

Installing release setup RPM...

• rpm -i --nosignature --force '/tmp/tmp.SunWxdtvqt'

Cleaning up...

• rm -f '/tmp/tmp.SunWxdtvqt'

Checking for existing installations...

• rpm -qa 'node|npm' | grep -v nodesource

Run sudo yum install -y nodejs to install Node.js 16.x and npm.

You may run dnf if yum is not available:

 sudo dnf install -y nodejs

You may also need development tools to build native addons:

 sudo yum install gcc-c++ make

To install the Yarn package manager, run:

 curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
 sudo yum install yarn

[ec2-user@phoenix ~]$ sudo yum install -y nodejs

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

You can see even I used LTS v16 version to install. The yum will still try the v18, which made me confused.
Is there any easy way to switch to LTS version install?

I am also having this issue on Amazon Linux 2 with Node 18.

Same

I have spent over 8 hours today trying to do this, this is driving me nuts. And total silence from NodeSource support.

[jpike88]

Its because amazon linux 2 is locked to glibc version 2.26, anything that doesn't match it will fail.

[jpike88]

please rename this issue to Does not work on Amazon Linux 2.... @JesusPaz is the above all correct?

[jpike88]

I should also clarify, my issue is with node gallium (nsolid-v4.8.0-gallium-linux-arm64)

[jpike88]

I've created an issue that's clearer about what's going on, this is not related to architectures
#1433

[jpike88]

I think I found the problem, it started happening with version 4.7.0 when a newer version of GLIB_C was used to compile the LTS versions. This was obviously a mistake as it leaves Amazon Linux 2 users stuck in the cold. Version 4.6.3 should work.

I am also facing this issue now. when i have installed the node 18.14.2 on amazon linux2.
Error: Package: 2:nodejs-18.14.2-1nodesource.x86_64 (nodesource)
Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.28)(64bit)

Hi @Cheng19031 Node18 requires glibc2.28 AMZN LINUX comes with glibc2.26.
This must be reported on https://github.com/nodejs/node we only create and distribute pacakges based on NODEJS binaries.
you may move to amazon linux 2022

[Cheng19031]

Thank you for your reply. I have degraded to the lower version Node16, the problem solved temporarily.
Coincidentally, I am also planning to use amazon linux 2022 recently.

[riosje]

As of today there is Amazon Linux 2023 which has support for node18, node19, node20

Please fix this I can't install version 20 or 18. Have to revert to v16.
