My question
There are some criticisms against npm n
, but they are dated (mostly from < 2018). Do the criticisms still stand? Is n
unstable or does it have pitfalls? It bears saying that there were 115,014 downloads for n
this week.
The problem
I want to install the latest stable versions of npm and nodeJS on Ubuntu 20.04, but that's surprisingly difficult.
