The repository does not have a Release file.

ubuntu: 20.04

sudo apt update

Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_17.x focal Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

https://deb.nodesource.com/node_17.x/dists/focal/

I see that the focal branch exists, why does apt prompt that it cannot be found? Has anyone encountered a similar situation?

Same thing here for node_16 on bionic.

@JesusPaz I also faced the same issue for install nodejs specific version: you can simply go through Documentation

• Install Node.js Locally with Node Version Manager (nvm)

https://heynode.com/tutorial/install-nodejs-locally-nvm/

or a youtube tutorial video would be helpful too https://youtu.be/OT7QOFvs9Lk

I hope my contribution will solve this problem.

If you use a method other than apt to install, I think the problem should be solved, but I want to know why this problem occurs? If the cause can be found, it can reduce such problems
