When I type node -v result: v.10.8.0, npm -v result: v 6.2.0. and finally nodejs -v result: v.6.14.2. I read in other forum saying that node and nodejs are same. If it's true, did I installed two different version of node? Is there really a difference between nodejs and node or both are same.

    Please note that both 17.xx Ubuntu releases are EOL now. You should upgrade soon. – Melebius Aug 15 '18 at 10:16
  • so I am supposed to remove nodejs and what is the right way of doing it @karel – Common Man Aug 15 '18 at 10:19
  • Some people say there is no right or wrong way of doing it because you can have both node and nodejs installed alongside each other. node is better for me because it's more up-to-date and the node snap package lets you install multiple versions of node and then switch between versions without needing to install any additional tools with sudo snap refresh node --channel=name-of-channel – karel Aug 15 '18 at 10:27
  • I done a sudo apt-get purge nodejs and it got removed which I understood when I checked for nodejs -v which returned bash: /usr/bin/nodejs: No such file or directory. – Common Man Aug 15 '18 at 10:51
