I've scoured Stack Overflow and Google as well as other forums for this answer regarding Ubuntu 18.04 34 bit and the latest Node.js version. If it is possible could you please refer or provide me proper instructions on how to install Node.js on Ubuntu 18.04 or weather it is or is not possible to install Node.js on this particular 32 bit linux distro.

    There are no longer official 32bit Linux builds for download. It may be possible to (cross-)compile a 32bit version yourself. – Henry Aug 24 '19 at 10:07

    I checked the last one working on Ubuntu 32 bits is v13.0.1-rc.0 . With the versions above, I get core dumps while running npm to reinstall packages. – Hibou57 Apr 24 '20 at 20:36

You need to build from the source download source from the link 

https://nodejs.org/dist/v12.9.0/node-v12.9.0.tar.gz

Extract and go to the directory , apply following commands to compile

./configure
make

I know very late to the party. But let me tell you this I've Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and below is my system configuration

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS i686 Kernel: 4.15.0-109-generic DE: GNOME 3.28.4 CPU: Pentium T4500 GPU: Intel Mobile 4 Series Chip Total Memory: 3879MiB

as you know I run 32bit and I did try @ChauhanTs steps but it didn't work. Instead, I ran a few commands

$ sudo apt install nodejs
$ sudo apt install npm

and ran another command to verify the installation

$ nodejs --version
$ npm --version

it worked. Try this out and let me know if that helps.

Thanks Ram
