Nodesource is not available anymore on the new download page of the node.js website

Open stof opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

The nodejs.org website has a new download page that currently does not list Nodesource anymore.

I started a discussion about the missing apt-based installation instructions in https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/7417 Apparently, they accept contributions for additional community-maintained installation methods, so it might make sense to see whether nodesource can be added there. But I think this would be best achieved by involving the Nodesource team in the discussion rather than just me.

Thanks for bringing this up. We are aware of the changes to the Node.js download page. Nodesource still appears here, but we decided to submit a PR for better visibility. @riosje from our team created the PR, and while there was some discussion, no final decision was reached.

We understand the Node.js team wants to keep the page simple, and that’s totally fine. In any case, if you search for how to install Node.js on Debian, Ubuntu, RPM, or Yum, you’ll still find our repository referenced in multiple guides.

Additionally, our team is already working on a dedicated page to provide clear installation instructions for each distribution in a well-documented way. We will let you know once this is completed on our side.
