nodejs 14.15.1

Need to know the specifics on npm please?
What version, Where you are installing it from, that sort of stuff.

Was it working or not working with the default nodejs and npm?

Hello SwampRabbit!
I've installed all the packages through apt or mx-packageinstaller. The current npm version is 5.8.0 and nodejs is 10.23.1. It is working so far, but npm warns the support drop. Watching some videos on ReactJS, they recommend at least version 12 on nodejs. So I'll use a VM for my studies until I get the updated package.

Here is the npm warnings:

Code: Select all

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.23.1
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/

Thanks for your attention.

I noticed Debian updated nodejs to 10.24 today for Buster, if that makes any difference.

Hello Stevo!
Thanks for your attention.
Can you explain why is so outdated? Is there some security issue?

Searching some more I found these instructions that explicitly support the current and LTS versions for MX.
