Hi @wraithgar I really struggle with updating https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm#less-common-operating-systems and probably most of the other instructions could be radically revised. I've had the issue npm/documentation#1459 open for quite some months and I was rather hoping that somebody with some history of how this content got put together might pick up the issue and revise the content. This PR just knocks off the bit at the bottom of the page which is now totally incorrect. If you want me to submit a new PR which simplifies the information that you mention and defers more to what https://nodejs.org/en/download is suggesting, I can do that. Let me know! |

Every little bit helps. If another PR cleaned this page up more it would most likely land. |
Thanks for merging this PR! I'll leave the other changes on my to-do list. |
