I used YUM repository to satisfied dependency chain of installing nodejs in centos 7.

When I tried to install using yum command doesn't download all dependencies automatically still few dependency error occurred. 

yum install nodejs-10.13.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm

To resolve this:

  • Created a directory in a root directory named(A).
  • Download those few dependencies individually(you can get each rpm file in google search).
  • Place all dependencies rpm files along with nodejs rpm in
    directory A.

Then run this command to create repodata directory automatically inside A. 

createrepo A

Create a repository file named(local.repo) in path /etc/yum.repos.d

[NodeUpgrade]
name=Node Version Upgrade - NodeUpgrade
baseurl=file:///A
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7

NodeUpgrade is repository name. This can be listed when execute command

yum repolist

repo id           repo name                                   status
NodeUpgrade       Node Version Upgrade - NodeUpgrade            7
debuginfo         debuginfo                                    3160

Install using yum:

sudo yum install nodejs

List available nodejs to find nodejs installed and make sure the repo name matches with the one specified in local.repo

yum info nodejs

Thanks for your suggestion @Chris Maes. I hope this explanation will bring a clear picture.

You have two options:

  • downloading yourself all dependencies (painful!) and then installing all of them with rpm -ivh *.rpm
  • using a decent package manager like yum or dnf that manages all dependencies for you. I would suggest you to try running simply yum install nodejs8 or even yum install ./nodejs-10.13.0-2.el7.x86_64.rpm if you really want to install the exact version that you downloaded.
