New Update ⚠️

We'd like to inform you of important changes to our distribution repository nodesource/distributions.

What's New:

• Package Changes: DEB and RPM packages are now available under the nodistro codename. We no longer package the installer coupled to specific versions. This means you can install Node.js on almost any distro that meets the minimum requirements.
• Installation Scripts: Back by popular demand, the installation scripts have returned and are better than ever. See the installation instructions below for details on how to use them.
• RPM Package Signing Key: The key used to sign RPM packages has changed. We now sign packages using SHA256, providing better support to the community.
• Questions and concerns: To resolve questions and discuss concerns about this update we've opened this discussion space New distribution's packages
