I'm getting this error on my AWS Ubuntu t2 micro. I'm new to Ubuntu/Linux. While installing nodejs package, it recommended I run sudo apt-get -f install. Any help would be much appreciated.

$sudo apt-get -f install

Your problem is not directly related to the command apt-get -f install. As the error message indicates your system does not have any free space left to install packages.

Check How do I free up disk space? to find some ideas how to clean up.
