I am running ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and I need to run node v6.
I am following this tutorial




curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -

# Install Node.js and npm
apt-get install -y nodejs



I can see in the apt-get output



Hit:4 https://deb.nodesource.com/node_6.x bionic InRelease


before installing:



node -v
-su: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory


after apt-get install -y nodejs



$ node -v
v8.10.0


but for some reason it installs node v8



How can I install v6?
