Apr 16, 2018Update NodeJS on BIGIP
Hello, I have tried to update nodejs on my BIGIP VE but it fails, I'm trying to install it using n eventually, I receive the following trace:
npm ERR! Linux 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.ve.x86_64
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/.npm__" "install" "-g" "n"
npm ERR! node v6.9.1
npm ERR! npm v3.10.8
npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EROFS
npm ERR! errno -30
npm ERR! syscall access
npm ERR! rofs EROFS: read-only file system, access '/usr/lib/node_modules'
npm ERR! rofs This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
npm ERR! rofs and is related to the file system being read-only.
npm ERR! rofs
npm ERR! rofs Often virtualized file systems, or other file systems
npm ERR! rofs that don't support symlinks, give this error.
npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! /home/admin/npm-debug.log
after even trying to install that localy and running n it fails saying 'read-only'

This is by design. You can't update node.js on a BIG-IP. This article shows the node.js version(s) per BIG-IP versions.
