Install NVM on your Linux server, after that install node version using NVM (run all the command as root user). After that run the below command for all the users get nodejs available with nvm

n=$(which node);n=${n%/bin/node}; chmod -R 755 $n/bin/*; sudo cp -r $n/{bin,lib,share} /usr/local

The above command is a bit complicated, but all it’s doing is copying whatever version of node you have active via nvm into the /usr/local/ directory (where user installed global files should live on a linux VPS/server) and setting the permissions so that all users can access them.

/root/.nvm/versions/node/v8.10.0/bin/node

Switch the user name check your node version.

su - username
which node
/usr/local/bin/node
