Use this script to install the latest official version available for your CPU architecture.
Alternatively install a specific unofficial build for rare architectures, using the parameters below.

Usage: ./node-install.sh [<params>]

Parameters:
  -h, --help                Show this help screen
  -l, --list                List all available Node.js versions, including official builds*
  -u, --unofficial          Include unofficial builds* as download source
  -v, --version <version>   Install specific version with <version> like "v15.5.1"

* Unofficial builds are available at unofficial-builds.nodejs.org
  and provide (newer) builds for rare, old or experimental architectures, like
  i386, armv6l or riscv64.'
