[ERROR] Node.js 20.x on amazonlinux:2023 Installation fail: GPG check FAILED about distributions

[JesusPaz]

Now you need to use the script to install Node.js:

curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs

Updated the bug description with steps to solve the problem.
Perhaps it's not a bug.
Leaving open for someone on the nodesource team to review.

Experiencing the same issue on Node.js 18.x, nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch

[acastruc]

Same with 18.x on Rocky8
I tried

sudo yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
sudo yum install nodejs -y --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1         

and this gave me the error

I changed it to

 sudo curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash -
 sudo dnf install -y nodejs

and that worked did not work. edit: worked (was missing sudo)
Curious if there is a way to make it work with yum?

[renanfferreira]

I'm facing the same problem

[renanfferreira]

This works, thank you

[maunzCache]

You should prefer dnf over yum in amazonlinux2023, thus make it

curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | bash -
dnf install -y nodejs

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/package-management.html

I'm facing the same issue recently on AL2023 (since 2024, before it worked fine), and followed the instructions mentioned on https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/wiki/How-to-select-the-Node.js-version-to-install to pin to a specific node version.

Any help is appreciated.

RUN yum install -q -y https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_20.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm && \
  yum install -q -y nodejs-20.9.0-1nodesource --setopt=nodesource-nodejs.module_hotfixes=1

Seems like a duplicate of #1755

[AngelicaFWhite]

Our Beanstalk deployment also started failing because of the same issue.
original:
sudo dnf upgrade -y
command: sudo dnf install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_18.x/nodistro/repo/nodesource-release-nodistro-1.noarch.rpm -y
changed:
command: curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | bash -
command: dnf install -y nodejs

However it isn't installing node js 18.19.x How can change to request the newer version installation?
Thank you for the support.

this is still an issue. i'm trying to install 21 on Rocky Linux 9 and I get this error as well.

@JesusPaz why did you close this?

[riosje]

@tgy what's the error?
I just tried it and everything works.

run -it  rockylinux:9 bash
curl -fsSL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_21.x | bash -
yum install -y nodejs

Installed:
  nodejs-2:21.6.1-1nodesource.x86_64

Complete!
[root@55c2d9a54553 /]# node -v
v21.6.1

[tgy]

sorry my bad @riosje it works now!
