[ERROR] Node.js 18.7.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 does not include corepack

For anyone who needs corepack, apt-update upgrading to v18.7.0 does not include it. Must manually download setup_lts.x to (currently) get v18.12.1 which DOES include corepack.

Maybe you accidentally did not include corepack in v18.7.0??

From a mastodon install failure issue, learned this: SOLVED: must install the LTS version and not version 16.

when using curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash - apt install -y nodejs the installer automatically runs apt-update and changes to v18.7.0 which does not include corepack

instead run for LTS curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | bash - apt install -y nodejs build-essential gcc g++ make ####this will install v18.12.1 which DOES include corepack

corepack enable (success) yarn set version stable (success)

When they released v18.7.0 they must have not included corepack

Same here, upgrading 22.04 to 22.10 moved my v16 to v18 and do not have anymore corepack tho yarn is not found from local folder. Using the latest script has a more recent version than ubuntu ppa tho installing the official one over the ubuntu one. Note: Upgrading noejs after the bash does not work, uninstall and install back corepack appear finally.

What a mess from this ubuntu upgrade 😕 now all is back. Thanks for the issue I was looking around what happened and this helped a lot 😉

It looks like the solution for this issue is install the latest LTS version. curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | bash -

curl -SLO https://deb.nodesource.com/nsolid_setup_deb.sh
chmod 500 nsolid_setup_deb.sh
./nsolid_setup_deb.sh 18
apt-get install nodejs -y

@riosje In README inside installation instruction it is still showing old script. Shouldn't it be updated to use nsolid_setup_deb.sh?
