I'm getting errors that I don't understand installing NodeJS on a freshly installed Ubuntu that is otherwise blank

Question

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04 a few days ago. My laptop is almost entirely blank. So I am met with confusion when I try to install Nodejs using these DigitalOcean instructions and I get an error.

I do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs

The second command gives

  javascript-common libc-ares2 libjs-highlight.js libnode72
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I am new to Ubuntu so I can't read this message, or at least I can't tell what's useful etc.

我在这里使用 Google 发现了类似的错误消息，并按照页面上的说明进行操作。

// Delete the new package source.
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d 
sudo rm nodesource.list

// Update apt, fix the install, remove nodeJS and the nodejs-doc packages. 
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt update
sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt remove nodejs-doc

// then use the instructions to install the latest node
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

但这给了我相同或类似的错误

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

有什么建议么？求求你了，谢谢你

从您尝试安装的nodejs版本（16.15）来看，您似乎没有从Ubuntu 22.04发行版安装nodejs，其中当前版本为12.22。

除非您有特定原因要安装发行版外的版本，否则您可以删除添加的文件/etc/apt/sources.list.d/以获得 16.15 版本，然后运行apt update && apt install nodejs安装 12.22。

如果您坚持使用发行版之外的较新版本，请首先使用apt autoremove（按照apt建议）删除 Ubuntu 默认版本的残余内容，然后再次尝试安装。
