need help installing node

[greaber]

Hi, I want to install node to use the Azure node api for archiving WAL. I thought I could just copy the apt commands in the Dockerfile like this:

RUN set -x \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates wget \
    && wget -O /tmp/setup_5.x https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x \
    && bash < /tmp/setup_5.x
    && apt-get install -y nodejs

but I am getting a bunch of errors from the apt commands, and it doesn't work. I find apt a confusing program that I hope one day docker can make obsolete. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you might be missing a backslash \ at line 5:

RUN set -x \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends ca-certificates wget \
    && wget -O /tmp/setup_5.x https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x \
    && bash < /tmp/setup_5.x \
    && apt-get install -y nodejs

Oops, yes, you are right that I have that problem. It isn't the problem I was worried about, but I can't reproduce that problem now. It must be that either I had a bad Internet connection or one of the servers I needed to connect to was out. Sorry for the bother.
