In case you didn't already, you might want to have a look at the instructions by nodesource.

It looks like you're running Ubuntu 14.04. An upgrade to 16.04 would solve the problem, if this is an option for you.

I had some issues because while the older version was run by the command node, the new version was renamed to nodejs.

So node never unreturned an error but launched the older version. nodejs worked fine. I had to do a bit of soft linking to fix this.

I've forgotten the exact procedure but you can run following to see if both exist but point to different programs

which node
which nodejs
