Error while installing Node Js Legacy in ubuntu?
When I try to run this command
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
it gives it as
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading
state information... Done Package nodejs-legacy is not available, but
is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is
missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it: nodejs:i386 nodejs
How to get a workaround from this? I can't find a proper fix anywhere.

The nodejs-legacy package simply installs a symbolic link so that it can be executed using the node command.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs nodejs-legacy

Hello it works but while installing it shows this on running second commandsudo apt-get install -y nodejs nodejs-legacy Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting 'nodejs' instead of 'nodejs-legacy' The following NEW packages will be installed: nodejs 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1107 not upgraded. Need to get 13.5 MB of archives. After this operation, 64.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.Like I need legacy one not nodejs
