distributions: CentOS 6.7 not supported

There appears to be some misinformation here. There are some people saying that you cannot install newer node versions on Centos 6 i386. Those comments are over a year old so maybe something changed to allow it now because I can do it using instructions one post above this.

So to install latest stable version of nodejs on CentOS v6.9 i386

yum install epel-release
yum install nodejs
node -v (which shows v0.10.xx)
yum install npm
npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n stable (or "n v8.8.1")

Close and re-open bash console

node -v (now shows v8.8.1)

To list versions available

n -ls 

I think you can install multiple versions and switch between just by typing n v8.x.x.

Same here on Centos 6.8:

Your distribution, identified as “centos-release-6-8.el6.centos.12.3.i686”, is not currently supported, please contact NodeSource at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues if you think this is incorrect or would like your distribution to be considered for support

@Nic128 Node 12 is not compatible with CentOS 6.

Original issue has been solved, if anyone has another issue please create a new one. Closing this now.

Problem installing node 12 on centos 6. Not getting this problem with node 10 or 11.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Installing gcc-c++ does not help.

Solution:

Enterprise Linux (RHEL and CentOS) users may use the Node.js and npm packages from the EPEL repository. Install the appropriate epel-release RPM for your version (found on the EPEL repository homepage), then run:

sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel
