Installs Node.js on RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu.
Machine running supported Linux versions, see above and in meta/main.yml
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
nodejs_version: "8.x"
The Node.js version to install. "8.x" is the default and works on all supported OSes. Other versions such as "8.x", "11.x", "12.x", and "12.x" should work on the latest versions of Debian/Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS.
nodejs_install_npm_user: "{{ ansible_ssh_user }}"
The user for whom the npm packages will be installed can be set here, this defaults to ansible_user
npm_config_prefix: "~/.npm-global"
The global installation directory. This should be writeable by the nodejs_install_npm_user.
npm_config_unsafe_perm: "false"
Set to true to suppress the UID/GID switching when running package scripts. If set explicitly to false, then installing as a non-root user will fail.
