I was able to successfully install nodejs with apt install nodejs
However, when I tried to run apt install npm
per the guidelines at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-20-04, it returns this weird error:

In fact, I can’t even seem to run apt-get update and apt update without these errors showing up. Any ideas on what I can do to solve this? It’s really strange too because I could install nodejs with no issue.

Hi @j93hahn,
Thank you for giving a heads up about resolving the issue.
The above reported is strange though. Did you make any other changes to your repositories or anything else on the droplet as a whole before experiencing the issue?
The issue has been resolved- I just waited 10 minutes and reinstalled it and it worked this time. Not sure why it didn’t work the first time haha
