      Before I decide to buy a Raspberry pi I want to preview it on my old computer.
      I installed Raspberry pi (desktop version from homepage of Raspberry).
      Everything was fine, When I install nodejs from apt source package, it doesn’t have alias (syntax for npm). Then I followed others topic, they said check uname -a and go to nodejs homepage to download a compatible version.

      Here is my $uname -a Linux raspberry 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux
      Then I go to node homepage and download a version of Linux Binaries (ARM) V6 unpacked and copy all of them to /usr/local/ and checked it with command node -v &npm -v. I got this error messages /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3: No such file or directory.

      I thought that was my computer is not compatible but when I tried it on virtualbox I still got same problem.
      I need your help. Thanks.

        My opinion

        Install ubuntu on your old computer. I have several old PC laptops running ubuntu and MM. MM runs perfectly.

          Well as far as I can see you installed/copied the ARM version of nodejs on a amd64 system.
          I guess that does not work.
          I’d rather try the Linux x64 binaries.

            However, I have the strong feeling that the ~30€ for a Pi 3b might be well invested to save from further trouble. :-)
            Or you use ubuntu in a VM as @Mykle1 suggested

              I don’t use VM. My machines are wiped clean and only ubuntu 16.04LTS is installed prior to MM
