How to update to node 7 or higher

Posted on October 6, 2018

For some reason the node is super outdated, and I need it to be at least Node 7+ which means node 8 works as well. However, I cannot figure out how to update it. I’ve checked out https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/how-do-i-update-my-node-version-from-6-11-2-to-v8 and that doesn’t seem to work for me.

Update, I just tried it a third time and it worked. Must have been something I was doing wrong.
