$ nodejs -v

Command 'nodejs' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install nodejs

I used these commands before that

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash - apt-get install -y nodejs

Try "node -v". If that doesn't work, make sure node was installed in your PATH "echo $PATH" to see valid locations. — user2263572, Aug 12 '20 at 15:04
