Installer outdated and fails on Raspbian Buster

[jason0031]

On a Raspberry Pi 2B with Raspbian Buster I tried to installer:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit-WebIDE/master/scripts/install.sh | sudo sh`

After getting a warning "Node.js 8.x LTS Carbon is no longer actively supported!" the installer continues but will fail with:

sh: 68: npm: not found

The installer script is outdated and fails.

Node isn't being installed as the script is trying to installed an outdated version. Maybe download the install script, replace the line:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -

by

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -

and run it with sudo.

Thanks for suggestion above. I've tried to install WebIDE using the standard link to 'install.sh' as described in the documentation. I'm running 'buster' and also found the 'sh: 68: npm: not found' issue. I copied the install.sh script and changed the 'setup_8.x' to 'setup_12.x' as suggested. Saved it and chmod +x and ran via command 'sudo bash install.sh'. During Node.js install, I get the error listed below and it crashes. Any further suggestions? Should I install/revert to 'Jessie' or 'Stretch'? This used to run on my Pi 3B, but this was back in 2017 and I was likely running Jessie at the time.

Confirming "buster" is supported...

• curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x/dists/buster/Release'

Your distribution, identified as "buster", is not currently supported, please contact NodeSource at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/issues if you think this is incorrect or would like your distribution to be considered for support
