This error happens when you install Node on an operating system that has a version of GLIBC that is lower than Node can support. For example, Node v18 supports GLIBC v2.7 or later. When you attempt to install Node v18.x on any Linux OS that has GLIBC v2.6 or lower, you will get such errors.

To see the version of GLIBC that your operating system has, execute the ldd command on the terminal:

Copy$ ldd --version

I can suggest three options to resolve this issue:

1. Either install Node from source code. This will allow you to recompile
2. Or install an older version of Node that your OS can support
3. Or upgrade your Linux OS to a newer version.

Reference: Install Node from source code

My error now fixed, I have installed nvm from here and then when i run

nvm -v

Issue remains same as i said in my question

After that doing this from stack post it got fixed But same error came when i gave exit and run same command... So i followed some steps from here and i run below commands

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion

Even though i got same error on some points while run version change commands. So after taught version may be problem. Then i ran to set default version to

nvm -ls # to list versions we installed(here also mention default and LTS versions)

nvm alias default 10.5.0 

If no version 10.5.0, we should install.

nvm install 10.5.0

And then excute above export command... Then its working fine

While Cris' answer is most likely correct in that it describes the root cause, he doesn't offer a solution compatible with the asker's environment (GoDaddy shared hosting).

According to these instructions from CodePunker, the solution is to install an older version of node.js that is compatible with whatever version of libstdc++ is installed on your GoDaddy shared host.

• If you get an error during installation saying you don't have the required GLIBC version then you need to install an older (potentially unsupported) version of Node.js
• To do that, execute nvm ls-remote --lts which will show you all the long term support Node.js versions that exist in the repository. Install an older one by issuing nvm install vX.X.X and then nvm use vX.X.X

The specific version of node.js that you'll need to install will depend on how outdated your shared host is. I tested this successfully with v10.13.0, but I just jumped to the oldest release in the current branch and did not test any newer versions.

You can also call GoDaddy Support and request that they update your host or move your site to a different shared host with more up-to-date libraries.

Finally I got solution by running the following commands.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
nvm install 16.15.1

Node.js v16.15.1 version and npm v16.15.1 is installed. For the same, make sure nvm is installed in your machine.

Your CentOS is just too old.

You can check which package the library belongs to by running yum provides /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6. In my case (on CentOS 7, but that doesn't matter for this) this is libstdc++-4.8.5-39.el7.x86_64.

If you look up the package for libstdc++ for CentOS 6 on pkgs.com you'll see against which glibc headers it was compiled. In this case you see that the latest version was:

• libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.13)(64bit)

Your output shows that the newer npm version needs at least GLIBCXX_3.4.14.

I guess you can compile node.js yourself against the library versions you have available, but I'd rather update CentOS to a newer release. It will be end of life anyway in November 2020.
