Update the installation instructions on Ubuntu

א ש

Is there a reason why I'm noticing?
Also the instructions for installing NODEJS are outdated
And also installing MONGODB installs an outdated version?
For example for NODEJS the instructions are like this

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

instead of the current instructions

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
NODE_MAJOR=20
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

And regarding MONGODB, version 5 is used and not version 7, which is the latest
which affects the continuation of the instructions
For example instead

MONGO

are used in

mongosh

and the full instructions
instead of

curl -fsSL https://pgp.mongodb.com/server-7.0.asc | \
   sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg \
   --dearmor
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-7.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/7.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-7.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable mongod

are used in

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-5.0.asc | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/5.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-5.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

@א-ש You can update by yourself and submit a pull request

@josef I created a withdrawal request there to the best of my understanding
But the full instructions don't seem to be there
but many small files
And there is a lot of text that I couldn't find where it says to edit it

For example, you need to write that you need a minimum of Ubuntu 20.04 and the minimum of NODE and other things like that

josef

@א-ש They are defined here: https://github.com/NodeBB/docs/blob/master/src/templates/installing/index.js#L4-L15
Apart from the recommended ubuntu version, which is defined here:
https://github.com/NodeBB/docs/blob/master/src/templates/installing/os/ubuntu/version.txt

By the way @baris, the edit button at the top of this page: https://docs.nodebb.org/installing/os/ubuntu leads to a 404 page.

@Hanishraj-B-Rao thank you, as it is the Christmas holiday, we will not be able to review it this week, but it will be looked at soon.

raohanish

No problem. Take your time & merry Christmas

@raohanish I see that you put the NODEJS update in there in addition to Mongo
However you don't seem to be registering the latest script
I would love to learn the reason why does it have problems?
Because I explain to people to install according to the latest script and if there are problems with it I would love to know
You can see it here
