This is a simple shell script that will install NodeJs v8.x. The "Latest version" of NodeJs version of 8.x in the raspberry pi on every version of raspberry pis (zero|1|2|3)
You can install everything on your pi by going into you Raspberry Pi zero|1|2|3's terminal, and running:
sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/audstanley/NodeJs-Raspberry-Pi/master/Install-Node.sh | bash
node -v
Please note that this should work for EVERY raspberry pi.
As new integer versions of NodeJs come out, I will update the script. I even wrote some NodeJs code that checks for integer updates every hour, and will send me a push notification to my phone, so this script should be up to date for a LONG time. Here is that code: checkNodeJsForLatestDistro
