I don't understand why I cannot achieve even if I write exactly the same lines in the website of nodejs nodejs documentation says that

for Alternatively, for Node.js v5:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

When I follow the instructions it says; 

Reading package lists... Done

As you can see it says;

How can I install the latest version?

Check current Node.js version:

node -v

Clean Cache Forcefully:

sudo npm cache clean -f

Install n Module:

sudo npm install -g n

Install latest Node.js:

sudo n stable

Setup binary link (change 7.6.0 for whatever version you installed):

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node/7.6.0/bin/node /usr/bin/node

Check again Node.js version:

node -v

You can check this link.

Are you in proxy environment? If so, please use "sudo -E" instead of "sudo".

$ sudo n stable --> NG
$ sudo -E n stable --> Maybe OK... (I hope so.)
