I wanted to run the yarn install command but then it told me that my nodejs was outdated. I checked the website to see what the latest version was and its 16.14.2 LTS. However, when I run node --version it shows v10.19.0.
I decided to check my python version too and it showed Python 2.7.18.
I tried sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade sudo apt upgrade package_name and tried to reinstall those packages to no avail
EDIT: Im sorry for not stating my question. Im not asking why, Im asking how I can install the latest version of these packages rather than the old versions that the APT tool has. Is it even possible?
EDIT 2: Or is there some tutorial I can follow for just downloading these packages from their official websites? Because I struggle with that. The only packages I've managed to install directly are Discord and Brave which had AppImages.
EDIT 3: Im on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.4 LTS. Also, would switching to Ubuntu Desktop 21.10 resolve this?
lsb_release -aThere must be an old release, possibly unsupported, so it might be a good time to "upgrade". – mikewhatever Apr 20 '22 at 22:35python3, notpython– karel Apr 21 '22 at 07:07
