distributions: Incorrect version of Node package in Yum repo
- Version: 4.x
- Platform: CentOS 6.7
Yum repo for version 4.x do not have NodeJS in version 4.x but instead it has version 0.10.x.
I have followed instructions on https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#enterprise-linux-and-fedora and when I run:
> curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | bash -
I get:

## Run `yum install -y nodejs` (as root) to install Node.js v4.x LTS Argon and npm.
You may also need development tools to build native addons:
`yum install -y gcc-c++ make`
However the Node version available to yum is the old one:
yum --showduplicates --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=nodesource list nodejs

This work for me, I have to manual remove nodesource repo file:
I was having this problem and
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*resolved it for me.I wanted to add that you can rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
Also yum clean all will not remove cached files for repo’s that no longer exist which may explain what happened in my case. I had removed the original .10.x repo prior to running yum clean all.
Okay, so it looks like you had a previous version installed, and you also have two of the release files installed, which is probably messing things up. Please try:
The, check
again and make sure there’s nothing there, and then run the installer script again.
Thanks TOO! i made mistake with installation version 8 instead 10 and this solve it: yum remove nodesource-release* nodejs yum clean all rm -rf /var/cache/yum/* rm /etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource-el.repo
Same issue here and clearing the yum cache did the trick
Same problem here, it will install version 6.7.0 instead of version 4.x…
Hello, I also had this problem. I resolved it with a yum clean all and reboot. Performing just a yum clean all did not resolve it - more notes at the bottom

I did run yum clean all several times and went as far as to remove any occurrence of node on the system prior to running the script after trying several times with the same result. At this point I opted to manually download the package to install it from the location the script points to.
This morning I got to thinking about this again so decided to try something else. After doing yum clean all and then rebooting the system I reinstalled the repo. Now, when I do a yum list nodejs, I now see the correct packages, as it also lists the 4.6 version as an update.

Maybe something is broken with Yum’s caching?
