System - Raspbian (Jessie):
sudo apt-get install npm
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
Now I have two instances of node.
/usr/bin/node -v
returns v0.10.29
/usr/local/bin/node -v
returns v6.2.1
Question:
sudo apt-get purge nodejs
has a laundry list of packages that will be removed. Is it safe to purge these dependencies? Is the instance in /usr/local/bin
self-contained or does it rely on these pre-existing packages? Will node red still work?
