You might have to do the following if you receive a 'command not found error'. You can now run the following command which will check what version of NPM and NodeJS are currently installed on your Pi Zero. Reboot your Pi and log back in to make sure everything worked correctly. Make sure you don't have any important folders using this prefix as they will also be deleted. This command will remove any file or folder beginning with 'node-' in your current directory. You can now clean up by removing tarball file you downloaded and the extracted folder. sudo cp -R /* /usr/local # Example: sudo cp -R node-v14.13.0-linux-armv6l/* /usr/local tar xvfJ # Example: tar xvfJ node-v14.13.Ĭopy the contents of the extracted tarball file to the usr/local directory on your Pi Zero. Extract the binary from the tarball file using the following command. You can use the ls command to list all files. Make sure you're in the same directory as the binary you just download. Use wget in the terminal to download the latest binaries. Click the link to go to the folder containing the different builds and copy the link to the latest ARMv6 version of NodeJS (Select the link with the. Go to the unoffical builds download page and select the version of NodeJS you want to install. If you aren't comfortable running the unofficial builds, you can also install an older version of NodeJS 11.x which still supports the ARMv6 binaries. So proceed with caution, as these builds aren't fully tested and could cause issues depending on which version of NodeJS you install. It has now been demoted to experimental status, and while they do provide unofficial builds on the website, these binaries are automatically generated and could break between releases.
However, NodeJS doesn't officially support the ARMv6 build required by the Pi Zero as of NodeJS 12 and later. To install NodeJS, an ARMv6 build is required.
The Pi Zero uses a Broadcom BCM2835 SoC, which has an ARM processor that uses an ARMv6 instruction set. This guide will walk you through the steps required to install NodeJS on a Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W. However, it can be difficult to install NodeJS on lower-powered devices such as the Pi Zero. A Raspberry Pi Zero combined with NodeJS can be a very capable device, allowing you to run NodeJS apps locally for setups such as Homebridge, or your own dev server for testing your NodeJS apps.
