I am using lubuntu. Installed nodejs with the .tar file in /opt directory through the root user. Using ''sudo su'' command. Now I am not able to use nodejs with my private user, whereas I can use it with again root user. How can I use nodejs with my private user also?

Grow up and install the native Ubuntu node snap package: https://askubuntu.com/a/594657/ – karel Dec 27 '20 at 12:35
okay, I will try – Substantial-Code0 Dec 27 '20 at 12:46
If you want the latest version you can install that snap package, and you can also install multiple versions of node.js alongside each other. – karel Dec 27 '20 at 12:48
So, should I just uninstall the node version I installed using .tar file? – Substantial-Code0 Dec 27 '20 at 12:49
You get to choose whatever version(s) you want to install from a list. To show the list type snap info node – karel Dec 27 '20 at 12:50
I will add node with snap, along with the node that I installed using the tar file – Substantial-Code0 Dec 27 '20 at 12:51
